Really interested to see if this will get picked up by network operators and how.
In my experience, corporate buying at this level has always been the home turf for salesmen of entrenched companies, partly because they actually pitch better and partly because buying StandardCorpX's product comes with a level of delegating design decisions you could get blamed for to the supplier. That last one typically doesn't come to the same extent with open source.
Not that I'm condoning any of these corporate buying strategies, just stating the fact.
- nckthrn 4y agoNetwork operators are the ones driving O-RAN - they have the most to gain: cheaper equipment & more supplier options. However interoperability is not as easy as you might hope, even with an open standard.

Rather than being all interoperable / plug and play, you wind up having to validate different combinations of hardware from different vendors... which then has to get revalidated when new versions of software are rolled out.
