The convergence of IT and telecom and exciting times for mobile broadband

Many analysts across the world are unanimous on the fact that, these are exciting times for mobile broadband as we see the convergence of IT and telecom, virtualization with software-defined networking, or SDN, and network function virtualization, or NFV, the adoption of artificial intelligence machine learning, and the ubiquitous coverage of all-IP 4G and 5G networks.

I can also observe that, with the rise of commercial cloud infrastructure and machine learning services, every mobile operator can be a big data company.
