Hard Talk: Autonomous operations – what is realistic?
Autonomous Operations (AO) is a wider concept than just the next-generation autonomous networks piece, encompassing the service operations functions above it and the IT systems ecosystem supporting those functions and processes. It is, however, essential to many new service models that automated end-to-end processes exist from customer request down to network function. Therefore C
