This live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day two of The Green Network Summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels was joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• What standards are emerging for understanding network function and service-level energy consumption of software development and operation?
• In which areas will industry collaboration produce the best results and help us get to the green RAN?
• What are the most important factors to address climate impacts from the network?
• How can networks drive broader environmental benefits, such as working from home and reducing the need for travel?
• Does Open RAN show any tangible improvement on RAN energy use?
• What’s the role of efficient spectrum assignment for energy efficiency?
