For this episode, we’re stepping away from our usual podcast format to bring you our year-end review and list of 2022 trends to watch. What a year it’s been! Remember CLOUD CITY at MWC21 and my awesome keynote? And where were you when you first heard about the $1 billion transformation fund and the launch of Totogi? Well, now it’s time to talk about what 2022 has in store for telco and the public cloud, and to predict what we’ll be talking about at this time next year:
- The metaverse [02:19];
- More public cloud [4:07];
- The continued rise of DISH [5:49];
- And, of course, Elon Musk – Time magazine’s Person of the Year [7:22].
Tune in now and get ready for an exciting new year!
