Legendary tech entrepreneur Marc Andreessen's famous "software is eating the world" perspective may already over a decade old, but we are only beginning to see the story played out in telecom. In this episode, we're joined by Amdocs' Niall Norton to discuss how software is changing the telecom vendor landscape.

It's a 40-minute recap on the development of the modern telco industry with an executive who's been on both sides (and both ends!) of the table. Extra insights from Francis Haysom on how "support systems" is legacy terminology, and how telcos have more to gain than they have to lose by adopting new technologies, mindsets, and vendor partnerships.
