From Fixed to Mobile, specific and convergent issues

The same seminar will address outstanding issues surrounding fixed (FTTH) and mobile (LTE) NGN:

How have rollouts progressed over the past 12 months? Can we pinpoint any major trends in the choice of architecture and technologies?
Hot-button issues: do operators have the means to step up their investments in NGN? What role can resource-pooling and infrastructure-sharing play? Where do public financing and private equity fit into the equation? Why have NGN given rise to new tiered pricing and network policy control strategies? What network-related innovations are we seeing in mobile NGN rollouts: small cells, cloud RAN, etc.? Do we need to curb regulation? Should we be worried about the spectrum crunch?
Should we bank on a proper convergence of fixed and mobile superfast systems? Is shared backhauling inevitable? Up to what point, and under what circumstances, can LTE replace wire line superfast access?
