Telecom App Developer Summit 2014 Istanbul Notes

TADSummit (TADS) is focused on building an essential yet missing component of the Telecom Industry, the telecom application developer ecosystem that creates new services and customer value to address the revenue decline from the commoditization of voice and messaging.


This was by far the best opening keynote I've seen.  Charlie set the tone for TADSummit.
Slides are available here http://www.slideshare.net/jaquayle/axiata-groups-service-innovation-vision-by-mohd-khairil-abdullah

• The audience very engaged at this point, lots of questions on the impact of open sourcing MIFE

• Packed TADSummit with people standing at the back

Thanks for the organization
