The report discusses the potential for access transformation to accelerate the evolution of operator production platforms. The authors note that the telecommunications industry is in a period of rapid change, with new technologies and business models emerging. Access transformation refers to the process of transitioning from traditional, circuit-based networks to more flexible, software-defined networks. The report argues that access transformation can help operators to better adapt to these changes, by enabling them to more easily introduce new services and technologies, and to more efficiently manage their networks. The authors also note that access transformation can help to drive innovation and competition in the industry, by enabling operators to more easily experiment with new ideas and to more quickly bring new services to market.
