Session Abstract:
This session will examine how the Web 2.0 paradigm is impacting telcos and how they are adapting to co-opt this paradigm to maintain service relevance in the IP-centric world.

Questions:

What is meant by Telco / Web 2.0?
What is the state of current service provider Telco 2.0 / Web 2.0 activities?
What capabilities can telcos expose that Web 2.0 companies need?
What are Web 2.0 companies doing today to bypass the telcos for various service enablers?
Where is the money to be made by the telcos and saved by the third party entities?
How are operator’s going to make these capabilities inter-operable across their network ‘islands?’
