LONDON -- OSS in the Era of SDN & NFV: Evolution vs. Revolution -- Heated debate and insightful service provider presentations were the order of the day Thursday November 6 as a core group of operators and vendors descended on the Thistle Marble Arch hotel in London to discuss the impact that SDN and NFV will/might have on OSS systems, R&D and strategies.

The conference room was packed to overflowing for much of the day as key executives from the likes of BT Group plc (NYSE: BT; London: BTA), Colt Technology Services Group Ltd , Comptel Corp. (Nasdaq, Helsinki: CTL1V), Netcracker Technology Corp. , Nokia Networks , Tail-f Systems , TM Forum and UBiqube Plc shared their insights and experiences.

Re: Beer
Three beers and three pies for breakfast and I'm napping 'til lunch. 

Which actually sounds like a great morning, especially if lunch involves more beer.

Meat fruit. That's wrong. But in a good way.

Re: Beer
I was trying to fit in with the locals by having three beers + three pies for breakfast. I don't know how Ray does this on a daily basis!

Re: Loved the energy in panel discussions
I agree, Jane! I think the Women's panel set the tone for a lively day of discussions. It's rare to see so much audience involvement and debate all day at a conference. It shows there are clearly different ways of approaching NFV/SDN and different mindsets on what works best. Love seeing all the dialouge around it.

Wait -- is that a Beck's that Mr. Brown is drinking? That's almost treasonous. And I won't even mention that it's sitting next to a ... Bud.

The carriage reminds me of the opening of Parliament that I saw many years ago, though I don't recall motorcyles on either side. Perhaps they were less security-minded back then.
