Thought Leadership Council Reports
Our Partners and companies with upgraded listings have the option of purchasing a report generated by the Thought Leadership Council (TLC), a unique research initiative. TLC is a select group of 140+ communications service providers (CSPs) with network-level expertise.
Council members take part in surveys and interviews about key communications trends and technologies. TLC circumvents traditional industry hype to ascertain how service providers are really responding to important industry happenings. What makes this initiative so unique is that participants discuss issues in a completely anonymous forum, enabling them to share insights and express business realities that otherwise could not be shared.
Following are examples of key TLC reports that address trends in automation:
This vendor-sponsored report indicates that service assurance is a key factor to CSP automation plans.
This TLC report indicates that CSPs already have started automating networks, despite that they don't have master plans in place to do so.

Network Slicing is not a technology, but rather a model for a new kind of business for mobile operators. Inherently disruptive, it is also essential to the tectonic digital shift now underway across all industries. Operators will be at the very centre of this shift, but to reap the rewards and be competitive, they need to embrace the change, lead the way and begin the process of transforming their businesses today.
In this much anticipated webinar, Heavy Reading Principal Analyst for Cloud and Infrastructure Rosalyn Roseboro moderates a deep dive into the business mechanics of Network Slicing with industry luminaries, Cloudstreet, led by company Founder & CEO Mika Skarp, and Marketing Head Brendan Tully Walsh. Solving the slicing conundrum at the point of user demand, the webinar presents a clear path to delivering intelligent, application-aware, predictive QoS prioritized slices as the basis for revenue-generating end-user SLAs.
In this Webinar you will learn:
- About the mechanics of mobile traffic differentiation as the pivot point away from Best Effort
- How application, user and context aware Network Slicing provides the building blocks for SLA-based business models of the future
- How to build and validate low barrier network slicing business models one use case at a time

The edge has been a speculative topic for far too long. Service providers have exclusive "beachfront property" in their networks that can be leveraged to drive revenue through innovative service delivery. While edge cloud deployments must align with constrained capital resources by making the most of existing space, compute, power and bandwidth, they have the untapped potential for generating revenue from differentiated capabilities like multicloud connectivity, IoT, video caching, etc. This webinar will explore the specifics of the edge cloud architecture and production-ready deployment strategies that are an imperative part of service provider business models in the 5G era.
