The Live Q&A Show was broadcast at the end of day two of The Green Network 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:

• How well understood is data on power consumption; how much scope for ambiguity is there?
• Is it best practice if we bundle "energy reduction" and "carbon reduction" targets and treat them as one challenge?
• What are the current technologies to reduce carbon emissions for rural or off-grid power telco stations?
• If telcos are too reluctant to set benchmarks for energy reduction, then do we have to turn to the regulators?
• Has any operator actually achieved carbon neutrality at this point?
• How are Scope 3 goals influencing buying decisions?
• Is sustainability a parameter in requests for proposals (RFPs)?
