“ Last but not least is the call to the industry to come and join us in this journey . The more partnerships we establish and the more adoption of Software as a Service and Mobile as a Software architecture , the stronger this ecosystem becomes and the more value the whole industry will harness from it .
“ I ' m very bullish , very positive and very hopeful about what the future looks like for us .”
In the more immediate future , Dabboussi notes that there ’ s a focus on raising awareness and knowledge of Mobile as a Software through widespread education , feeding into this notion of a constantly evolving , disruptive ecosystem that ’ s synonymous with innovation .
“ I ' d like to see , hopefully very soon , some announcements around large , tier one national operators adopting our solutions . We ' re very close to making really good headways with a few of them – they ' re currently trialling and testing our systems , and we feel very positive about what ' s coming .
“ We will continue to see improvement in the performance of the networks we ' re building . Rakuten ’ s network is considered in the top sixth percentile globally on performance and customer experience . On the engineering side , I see us introducing very interesting , innovative products and reference designs .”
Dabboussi concludes : “ The next two years are our window of opportunity to lead the disruption in the industry and open a new chapter in the history of the telecom world . It ' s time for a change . And we ' d like to have our name and our brand stand in that new chapter of telecom history .”
