Open Source and The Global Disruption Of Telecom: What Choices Will We Make?
I gave the opening keynote at AstriCon 2015 in Orlando on Oct 14, 2015. You can read more at: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2015/09/keynote-at-astricon-on-oct-14-open-source-and-the-global-disruption-of-telecom-what-choices-will-we-make.html and http://www.asterisk.org/community/astricon-user-conference/sessions/keynote-address-open-source-and-global-disruption The abstract is: There is a battle raging for the global future of telecommunications and the Internet. Taking place in networks, board rooms and legislatures, the battle will determine how we all communicate and what opportunities will exist. Will telecom support innovation? Will it be accessible to all? Will it give us the level of security and privacy we need to have the open, trusted Internet? Or will it be restricted and limited by corporate or government gatekeepers? The rise of voice-over-IP has fundamentally disrupted the massive global telecommunications industry, infrastructure and policies. Open source software such as Asterisk has been a huge driver of that disruption and innovation.. but now what? What role do platforms such as Asterisk play in this space? And what can be their role in a telecom infrastructure that is now mobile, increasingly embedded (Internet of Things) and more and more using proprietary walled gardens of communication? Join the Internet Society's Dan York in an exploration of what the future holds for telecom infrastructure and policy - and how the choices we make will determine that future.
