CSP’s Generic Challenges
CSPs everywhere, the future has "catch-22" written all over it.
With technology evolving in every direction, business models under threat and increasing security issues, network operators are obviously at a critical juncture. Need to Redesign internet?
Upcoming new technology providing seamless roaming to WiFi will offload 4G traffic and revenue
Services realized on Obsolete gear must shift to Cloud based -as for all new services, to enable quick time2market and RoI
Keep Top20 customers, value subs and reduce churn
Will balloon/drone based SkyNet appear offering broadband services any/every-where, energized by RFCS & solar-power?

How to cater for peaked traffic (and still earn revenue )
Global mobile data traffic nearly twelve times greater than total global Internet traffic in 2000
4G connection generated ~20 times more traffic on average than a non-4G connection in 2013
Smartphones represents >20% of total global handsets in use, but <90% of total global traffic
2/3 of global mobile data traffic - video by 2017
Avg usage/month; 7GB mobile data per user 2016
WiFi networks (e.g. hyMesh) may offload RAN as VoWiFi may counteract declining revenue from users on OTT networks
