Love this perspective from Ericsson’s Mats Karlsson! Why? Three years ago, when the industry was fixated on Metaverse and vendors were pitching metaverse-ready networks (and Open RAN Squid Game), neXt Curve was emphasizing to the industry what we called full-stack operational modernization. This principle is based on a research piece I published six-years ago about the importance of a next-gen BSS as a key to monetization for many of the hypothetical services that we were talking about during the run up to the first 5G deployments.
