We are attempting to create a framework in which it will be easy for many networks to bloom as part of a family of interoperable networks that can co-exist and complement each other.<br \/>\nAnd Tenet 2: Let Networks Manage Themselves. This were we would like to have a &#8220;default-on&#8221; management entity, which is an inseparable part of the network itself, generating extra value in terms of guaranteed performance in a cost effective way, and capable of adjusting itself to different network sizes, configurations, and external conditions.<br \/>\nBoth activities have got off to a flying start, and we have a number of follow up workshops in the coming weeks.
