If Amazon went from selling books to being the biggest cloud provider, 
they are certainly showing that with enough software developers, white 
boxes, and a bit of network, you can virtualize an EPC that makes the 
telco close to irrelevant, in a few years.

More pressure on Nokia, Huawei, Ericsson, and friends.

Hehe - and yet the cloud boys and girls are the largest submarine cable 
builders and operators, nowadays.

Funny that, eh...
