The After Show was broadcast live at the end of Day Three of Spotlight on 5G week. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by panelists for this end-of-day question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• Where do you envision the physical location of the highly distributed edge Datacenters (micro/pico) that will be supporting low latency applications and MEC?
• Can the Edge be mobile? Do edge locations have to be fixed?
• Are operators converting their Central Offices into mini datacentres? Is this still a viable and cost effective option for them?
• Is gaming still the Killer App for the Edge - especially VR and AR gaming?
• Should the telcos just leave all their Edge development work to the Hyperscalers - after all, it would seem that all the developers are already working with them?

We also feature the next installment of our Uncorked series, where we take a look at the major wine producing regions of Spain, with Pierre Mansour, Director of Wine at The Wine Society. Plus, we launch “Your After Show’, and invite you to send in your photographic memories of past MWC events. We will also reveal who has won today’s Great Tapas Taste-Off challenge.
