Objectives:

Give the attendees an evolutionary view on the access networks and open perspectives on the potential developments upcoming. It will always keep an eye on the standardization trends and other ecosystem parameters (as regulation, cost and timeline constrains) in order to provide the attendees the background to further perceive some of the upcoming opted solutions and dynamics.
