  34. Trend 2. Big opportunities for big data but … • Didn’t crack it yet • MNOs vs. OTTs • Privacy: Customer sentiment • plus regulations • Other obstacles • End-to-end encryption

  35. Trend 3. IoT can provide new opportunities

  36. Trend 3. IoT can provide new opportunities but … • Innovation is happening elsewhere • Nest, uber, drones, self-driving cars • Selling “circuits” vs. solution? • What about security and privacy?

  37. Direction 1. Virtualization to the rescue • No constraints from physical assets • NFV, SDN, Network-enabled cloud • “Capacity breathing” • Auto-scaling, self-scaling • Predictive • Dynamic • At any granularity, at any time scale • Point-to-point, multicast • Based on usage

  38. Direction 2. Mining the Data • More than just “big data” • Synergy between MNO & OTT? • Mining, sieving, refining, distilling • What is the purpose? • What are you looking for? • Intelligence, Insight • New tools • Graph DB, column store, big table, stream processing • Privacy-preserving, delegated computing

  39. Businesses are“dying of thirst in an ocean of data” • 80% • of the world’s data today is unstructured • 90% • of the world’s data was created in the last two years • 20% • amount of data traditional systems leverage today 1 in 2 business leaders don’t have access to data they need 2.2X more likely that top performers use business analytics 83% of CIOs cited BI and analytics as part of their visionary plan

  40. How to handle Big Data? • Maybe we need “data refinery”

  41. Oil refinery

  42. Data refinery Unstructured Data User Sentiment Social Net Data Network Intelligence Raw Data User Intent Spatiotemporal Context Data Structured Data Purchase History CDR Billing

  43. How to ensure safe data analysis?

  44. How to ensure safe data analysis? • Privacy Homorphism: One of 10 Emerging Technologies (MIT Technical Review 2012)

  45. Direction 3. Rich IoT • Extreme scale • MNO has a unique peering point • Sees traffic, location, ubiquitous • Can provide value-added solutions to customers • Built-in analytics, security, AI • AaaS, SaaS, AIaaS
