Virtualization, Automation and DevOps – Why it’s Taking so long for Telcos?
summary
Telcos aim to use SDN, NFV and cloud to cut costs and speed product launches but progress stalls because of a entrenched hardware mindset, fragmented open source choices (OpenStack, ONAP, OSM, OpenDaylight, P4, Tungsten Fabric) and painful PNF→VNF migrations that break orchestration and troubleshooting. Example metrics: 150% mobile penetration limits revenue growth, 80% of CSPs cite a skills gap and 70% worry about retention. Recommendation: executive‑led culture shift, budget for short‑term cost rise then long‑term ROI, and pick interoperable stacks not endless options.
