Open Source, OpenStack and NFV: How is the ‘Open Telco’ project progressing?

The objective of this opinion survey was to unlock some insights into telecoms professionals’ attitudes and experiences around OpenStack, Open Source software and Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV). These three software projects are arguably the key observable pieces in Telcos’ movement to what we might call the ‘Open Telco’.

The journey to 5G - which Open Source projects will be most relevant?

Notice also that we successfully avoided use of the word ‘transformation’ because of that concept’s abstract nature. Asking about specific projects of which our viewers and readers have direct experience, is a better and more instructive route to take. We also asked questions about Open Source in relation to 5G.
