We welcome Stan Hubbard, Principal Analyst at MEF, to the show. Stan recently authored a State of the Industry Report for MEF; we wanted to have him on to discuss his findings and see where the telecom industry is at with adopting new technologies.

Next, we discuss his report and get details on the state of automation adoption in the telecom industry, why customized or proprietary APIs are inefficient, the benefits of standardization, how enterprise drives automation, and even how blockchain will be involved in network contracts.
