The After Show was broadcast live as part of the Spotlight on 5G series. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by panelists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

Is the application race proceeding faster than the chipset production recovery race?
What are the AI and Automation requirements predicted in 5G, especially in Open RAN?
Is much going to happen in Open RAN during the next five years, because of the problems in covering 2G and 3G services?
What challenges will CSPs and vendors face as they consider disaggregation at the application layer?
With some 'confusion' reigning in NEPs, what is your definition of OpenRAN?
Will Rakuten Symphony also look into integrating edge IoT solutions?
