In this inaugural Light Reading podcast, Carol Wilson talks to us about TIP, MEF and the ONAP controversy, while Mitch Wagner recaps his visit to Salesforce.com's Dreamforce event.
A word of explanation: We're trying our hand at a podcast here at Light Reading, and rather than recap the week's news, I thought we'd use this as a vehicle to get more in-depth with the editors around the Light Reading universe.
That includes not only Light Reading itself, but our community publications -- Enterprise Cloud News, Security Now, Telco Transformation and UBB2020 (our site covering wired broadband).
The podcast is downloadable at Soundcloud -- you have to click on the "More" button to get to that function. A few notes about this week's show:
