Speaking at Arden Media’s recent Telco Cloud Forum, Verizon Vice President of Technology Planning and Development Bill Stone was crystal clear that, for it to live up to the promise of changing the world, 5G has to be programmable. As such, Verizon has invested heavily in virtualization, the importance of which Stone said “cannot be overstated.”
“5G is beginning to touch nearly every industry sector,” Stone said. “We believe it will impact the global economy in a profound way and dramatically improve our global society…We’ve already gotten a strong glimpse into future solutions that will be built on top of our 5G network…This remarkable technology is paving the way for unprecedented innovation that will reshape the world.”
