Telcos are right to look to enterprise customers for near term growth. But that growth will see them selling new kinds of services, and is dependent on a new level of self-serviceability. In this episode Robert and Grant are joined by Itential CTO Chris Wade to discuss how the next big wave of digital services - an incremental revenue potential of $100B for telcos - can be enabled.

What do software leaders within telcos think about the tremendous rate of change and technological innovation taking place? How do they view topics like SaaS, GenAI, or edge computing? How do they consider the vendor landscape? What principles are most important in the era of cloud and continous delivery?
In this thoughtful episode, Robert and John talk with Rob Bennett, SVP of Software Engineering at Echostar - the new name for the combined Dish Wireless and Echostar assets that were re-merged in early 2024.

IBM Research is responsible for ideas and innovations that will drive growth and redefine the state-of-the-art in technology. In a rare discussion with IBM Research , Patrick Kelly begins the episode with COO Jeff Welser by exploring the state of AI, and the practicalities of cutting-edge research. From there, it's a look into the relationship between AI and quantum computing, high-value use cases for both within telecom and in other industry sectors. And with a diversion into the world of 2nm silicon, cooling... it's quite the tour, right at the frontiers of technology.

In the telecom software market, Amdocs has long been one of the most significant and successful players. But how does it view, and respond to, the multiple waves of disruptive change in telecom and IT, from cloud to GenAI? To what extent are its customers - 400-some telcos across the globe - embracing or playing down the impact? In short, while we often talk about game-changing technologies, how is that playing out in practice, for both telcos and their suppliers?
And, just ahead of MWC24, what can we expect to see hear and experience from Amdocs this year?
This episode is a wide-ranging half-hour conversation with one of Amdocs' most senior and most experienced executives.

Automation in telecom is hardly a new idea. But what is new is its top-level importance, in a world where network complexity is beyond human comprehension, and speed is a critical differentiator for operators. In telecom, operational speed and efficiency revolves around network inventory, so in this episode we explore how the inventory management and wider automation are linked, and how they are changing.
Featured guest is Rohit Batra, General Manager for ServiceNow's Telecom, Media & Technology business.

Summertime gives many of us a chance to travel somewhere interesting and different, and gain a new perspective. We've taken that to heart in this episode, as Robert and Francis spend time with someone who lives full time within the fabled "developer community" that features as a box on countless slides from telecom CSPs and vendors. For well over a decade, Alan Quayle has led an initiative to rally developers to leverage the potential of programmable telecom networks - the aptly-title Telecom Application Developer (TAD) series of events.
We ask: does telecom actually "get" developers? What innovation have we seen from third party developers? What are CAMARA's chances?
