The time has come for small telcos in the US to band together in a national entity, not only for the economies of scale in buying and deploying next-gen network gear, but also to be able to bid against bigger players for significant contracts from the federal government and others.
Shirley Bloomfield, CEO of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA) from the Telco Visions 2013 floor [Quote excerpted from a Carol Wilson / Light Reading article]

Heard on Twitter: At TelcoVisions 2013
@mitchellkp: entertaining and solid intro to #TelcoVision panel on all IP service provider by @gleavieboy - he asks is voice still a service?
@gleavieboy: @mitchellkp thanks KM. You get a gold star for sitting in the front row as well. Brave call at any tech conference!
@mitchellkp: @gleavieboy I heart gold stars! seriously, nice job moderating. i had a question to ask...too bad time ran out. I may see you at SW Telco
Caught on Twitter
@disruptivedean: As consumers use mobile voice telephony less, network coverage will be less important too. Nobody will care about missing inbound calls
@futurephil: @disruptivedean Do you think that'll hold up for smartphone users? Wouldn't a premium device suggest always-on coverage?
@disruptivedean: @futurephil Not really. Even Wifi-only may be enough for some people - it is fine for tablets after all. Only need mobile for maps, FB, WA
@tomascalvoz: @disruptivedean @futurephil Tablet is too big for street use. Smartphones are expected to work everywhere (i.e. Maps) Need data coverage
@disruptivedean: @tomascalvoz @futurephil Maps is one of the few use-cases - although TBH they work quite well offline too if you pre-cache. I did it ystrdy
@tomascalvoz: @disruptivedean @futurephil It's convenience vs price. At the right price, universal data coverage is useful. Wifi will pressure price down
@disruptivedean: @tomascalvoz @futurephil Agreed. Although in some places, also NB risk of theft if using expensive device on the street, so only use indoors
By embracing Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and implementing a new generation of network elements entirely in software, we’re helping established and emerging operators to innovate, compete and deploy new applications and services more quickly, while dramatically reducing their capital and operational costs.
Team Clearwater, an open-source IMS core initiative from Metaswitch.
We are very pleased to receive this important validation in the cable industry. Perimeta is a match for operators of all sizes, and it is the first SBC flexible enough to run directly on standard server hardware or within virtualized cloud environments.
Bryan Weeks, Metaswitch vice president of MSO sales

Martin Geddes and Dean Bubley: A Twitter Exchange.
Dean: Telcos expecting net payment from content/OTT VoIP innovators for APIs & QoS = dinosaurs demanding rental payments from the asteroid
Martin: @disruptivedean Are they still "OTT" if they partner and pay? (Just checking for tautologies...)
Dean: @martingeddes Hah, good point. Partner and *be paid* is still much more likely, based on historic precedent
Martin: @disruptivedean I am thinking "OTT" as a term may be obscuring a more complex & interesting set of combinations of exchanges of value.
Dean: @martingeddes Well, I've long thought OTT is an unhelpful term. But no obvious "exchanges of value" between Internet players & access SPs
Martin: @disruptivedean These are exchanges at arm's length. Closer ones are carrier billing, which has had some success.
Dean: @martingeddes broadband is arms-length too. Internet access as a broadband service is closer
