Blockchain For Business Trust
LinkedIn
February 22, 2021
Late last year, I had the opportunity to discuss blockchain and crypto assets with Dr. Shin'ichiro Matsuo, head of blockchain research in the Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab at NTT Research. In 1996, Dr. Matsuo implemented an E-Cash system based on theories developed by NTT Fellow and CIS Lab Director, Dr. Tatsuaki Okamoto. This work convinced Dr. Matsuo that the key to using blockchain for business lies in blockchain's shared ledger technology's ability to instill trust into e-commerce by providing consensus-based verified business data. That concept was so impressive that I welcomed the opportunity to continue the conversation with Dr. Go Yamamoto, a senior scientist in the NTT Research Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab.

Recently, Ericsson Digital released an amazing report on Edge Computing and 5G. In it, they explained how distributed cloud computing is paving the way for the future of network communications. They also advised telecommunications operators, not to wait for 5G but they should build tomorrow’s networks today! Given the cost, effort and focus such a commitment would demand, I was anxious to learn the reasoning behind such a bold statement. My curiosity was answered when they gave me the opportunity to interview Mats Johansson, Senior Marketing Dir, IP & Cloud Ericsson.

Unveiling the end-to-end capabilities for the networked society
linkedin
June 09, 2019
The telecom industry is rapidly moving towards a future in which networks must have the capabilities of delivering services with the agility, flexibility and scalability only made possible by full programmability. More than software defined networks (SDN), these capabilities will deliver software defined service domains that can interact seamlessly with other independent service domains in a multi-tenant environment. The result will be a telecommunications industry capable of evolving and adapting to the emerging requirements of our networked society. This is why I was so excited to interview Henrik Basilier, Network Expert Network Architecture Evolution at Ericsson.
