It's been a week since we left California and wrapped up at MWC Los Angeles 2019. What did our analyst colleagues and fellow editors think of all the big booths, meetings and crowded corridors? In this episode, Light Reading's Kelsey Ziser and Phil Harvey dig through the podcast studio voicemail to listen to insights from Ovum's Daryl Schoolar and Mike Sapien, Heavy Reading's Jennifer Clarke and Light Reading's Mike Dano. To kick things off, Phil recalls his meeting with the GSMA's Ana Tavares Lattibeaudiere. She seemed to connect the dots between a lot of carrier businesses heading from device-driven transactions to connectivity-fed managed services. Then, as expected, Phil griped about trade show coffee and heaped praise on the local gin distillery. As each of Phil's and Kelsey's colleagues called in, they were asked to relay their favorite thing about the show, their least favorite thing and to name at least one good meal or beverage they consumed while in town. Listen and learn which OSS/BSS category suddenly seems hot again, which analyst is hot on the trail of IoT developments and which carrier's cocktail hour punch tasted the worst.Sign up today for the Light Reading newsletter.

AT&amp;T lost video and broadband subscribers during its second quarter, but the telco still reported revenue and profit forecasts in line with Wall Street's expectations. Indeed, the carrier is making truckloads of money every quarter, but its ability to pinpoint where the culture is going is not as sharp as its competitors. In this quick, five-minute podcast, Light Reading's Alan Breznick talks about what AT&amp;T announced and why it's not showing more growth in video and broadband, at a time when there is so much activity and interest in both areas. Our producer is on vacation this week, so we kept this recording really short and didn't do any fancy editing.

Executive Spotlight Q&A: Metaswitch's Martin Taylor on 5G Wireless Wireline Convergence

Light Reading's Mitch Wagner and Phil Harvey discuss the recently reported deal between AT&amp;T and Mirantis. A week ago, Mirantis announced that it was joining Airship , an open source infrastructure project that aims to help telcos use on-premises Kubernetes infrastructure to support their efforts to modernize, cloudify and otherwise make their networks more efficient (and less dependent on a single vendor). We discuss Wagner's reporting on the subject and how it led to an even bigger story about AT&amp;T's use of OpenStack and Kubernetes and what those technology choices say about AT&amp;T's evolving 4G network (the one that it calls "5G"). Wagner talks about the strategic importance of open source to AT&amp;T and, during the last 7 minutes of the podcast, he even gives public relations pros some useful advice on getting his -- or any other editor's -- attention. At the 30-minute mark, Phil's cat Rosie decides she's not going to wait for theme music before bringing the whole show to a screeching halt, as only a professional office cat can.Sign up today for the Light Reading newsletter.
