The Live Q&A Show was broadcast at the end of day one of the Telcos and Public Cloud summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre were joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• Do public cloud companies need to develop telco-specific tools to win telco business?
• Telcos talk of the need for “highly reliable, mission-critical” networks, and worry that public cloud can't deliver this condition – but says who? How true is this?
• How important is it for public cloud companies to hire staff with telco operations experience?
• Has the case for making partnerships with public cloud providers already been made? Is it time to move on?
• Is there an industry forum where telcos and hyperscalers can work closely together to figure out the risks and opportunities for future networks?
