What Every Telecom Operator Should Know about the Cloud  

To be successful in the cloud, telecom operations must compete with established cloud service providers – both giants like AWS, Google and Microsoft and smaller regional vendors already in the market.

Cloud service providers are using this checklist, so you should too!
