Talking to STL about what we will do / how we will do it makes me appreciate how far I’ve come since the Redknee days.

I didn’t even know what BSS or charging meant!

But the path forward is so clear to me. I can make more progress, faster, and that is exciting. What a reward 💜 Now, there’s no shortage of very hard work that needs to be done and execution is paramount.

But I don’t have to contend with a lot of the initial doubt of the vision (both in my head and in others’) that I had before.

That’s half the battle.

We're nearing the end of 2021 & what a year it's been! I said 2021 would be the year of the public cloud in telco. Was I right, or not?

Check out my top 10 telco cloud stories of 2021! 👇 10. First up, it’s @SpaceX Starlink + @googlecloud to deliver data, services & apps to the #networkedge via its #satellites. Not surprised @elonmusk skipped @awscloud; he hates @JeffBezos. 🚀

I believe everything in telco will move to the public cloud. @elonmusk thinks, in 5 years, we'll be on Mars. Which one do you think will be first? Let's explore that question. @elonmusk 14 years ago TODAY Steve Jobs changed everything when he launched the first iPhone - changing the world and telco forever.

Public Cloud is coming to all parts of #telco.

This is the @totogi charging engine chapter.

Simply put: the key to Totogi's amazing performance is the public cloud. @totogi is the first charging engine to be designed and engineered from the ground up assuming public cloud. (In this case, @awscloud is the public cloud)
