Episode 6: In Quantum, everything is complex
This episode was recorded at NetworkX 2024 in Paris. Our guest is Jean-Luc Vuillemin, Executive Vice President International Network, at Orange
Quantum technology is counter-intuitive for many people. Kerem is no exception to that. In this podcast we can hear how Jean-Luc explains Quantum computing and Quantum Internet to Kerem (and you) and how Kerem is becoming increasingly enthusiastic about it.
Jean-Luc covers use cases of Quantum Computing, the technological challenge of creating Qubits of a sufficient quality and the Quantum Threat of Store-Now-Decrypt-Later attacks.
He also explains the hybrid environment of Quantum and Non-Quantum technologies and the current and (near) future developments

Terje explains that it is important to focus on use cases instead of on technology and shares a number of use cases where (private) 5G really makes sense. A conversation about what problems we are actually trying to solve, fiddling with operational environments, and whether Private 5G will make anyone rich ;)

This episode was recorded at NetworkX 2024 in Paris. Our guest is Camille Mendler, Chief Analyst at Omdia. With her, we discuss the state of the telecoms industry today and the untapped potential that is still there.
Camille explains how, according to her, there is plenty of opportunity for telecom operators to make money when they can make up their mind whether they want to go for world domination or incremental revenue. Do we really need to build balloons and send rockets to space and are we really going to send each other holograms for Christmas?

This episode was recorded at the Orange Business "Insights 2024" analyst event in Amsterdam. Our guest is Wassila Zitoune, Chief Operating Officer at Orange Business. With her, we discuss how the ultimate goal of an infrastructure
operator is to be invisible to the end-user. Wassila explains how being professionally paranoid helps delivering a great experience on large events like the Olympic Games, whilst continuing the daily work for all existing customers. We cover the good and bad of regulation in telecoms and the balance between innovation and execution.

Is GenAI a hype?
How can we best leverage GenAI?
How do we avoid Bias in GenAI?
What about Intellectual Property?
Is (Gen)AI scary or not?

Passionately curious about the impact of technology
Introduction:
It is almost impossible to imagine a world without our smartphones, tablets, smart gadgets, and always-on communication. Surrounded by and dependent on so many devices, applications, and constant connectivity, we have grown to appreciate the many ways that technology makes our lives easier and better. At the same time, we know we are faced with constant change as we try to adapt to the rapid heartbeat of tech-led innovation. Technology companies, ranging from hardware vendors and telecom operators to cloud service providers and application developers, are in a relentless pursuit to develop and market new products and services based on the latest technologies. Some of these innovations immediately enter our lives whether we like it or not, some are never embraced at scale, and some need a lot of time to make it from their initial hype to a phase where they impact the day-to-day operations of our businesses or our everyday lives as consumers and citizens.
It is in this context that Frank de Jong, a tech evangelist and program director at Orange Business, got into a conversation with Kerem Arsal, a seasoned tech analyst at Omdia. Their conversation became a heated discussion on the impact of technology on today's society and what the intended and unintended consequences of certain technologies could be. They may not agree on everything, but they both firmly believe in the importance of thinking critically about how technologies affect our societies and how societies influence the adoption of technologies.
Orange Business recognizes the value of this type of conversations and provides Frank and Kerem with the possibility to produce this podcast.
In every episode, Frank and Kerem will invite one or more guests to talk about one aspect of today's technology and share their expertise with us. Being the passionately curious guys that they are, Frank and Kerem do not only ask the obvious questions but try to "look behind the curtain", as well.
Kerem has spent nearly 20 years in telecoms and IT as an analyst, consultant, and strategist at multiple companies, including several years at British Telecom most recently.
Now, he covers networks and edge computing at Omdia, a part of Informa plc. Kerem holds a PhD in Information Systems from Boston University, but he is also a failed rock singer, an ex-music journalist, and a defunct live sports
commentator.
