The Alcatel-Lucent chief tells Light Reading's International Managing Editor, Ray Le Maistre, that applications enablement in carrier networks could potentially combine everything the Internet offers with the stuff traditional telecom carriers are good at: reliable networks, location capability, and billing. The result could be new types of communications services served up by companies that consumers trust.

The third interview in this series will run on Friday, January 29, at www.lightreading.com. The first interview in the series is available right here:
