Subject: Open RAN: Revolutionary, or a tool for a revolution?
Until a few minutes ago, I didn't know that something named “open RAN”
existed, or what it is.
I came across a story on the subject, and I’ve included the URL for
the story, and one for a “white paper” that gives technical details,
below. However, I think we telecom types need to talk - not about the
technical topic, but about the political and regulatory environment
that the “Open RAN” concept will create.
“Open” standards which MIGHT allow communication - even short-range
peer-to-peer communication - between disparate devices? The Congressmen
who had to run for their lives on January 6th of 2001 will discard the
idea out-of-hand. They don’t want, and will not allow, any change that
removes control of the cellular network from the hands of government
“EMCOM” specialists who are able to shut down cell networks in any
area they choose.
Communication without paying a monthly fee to the powers-that-be?
Heaven Forfend! That's C-C-C-C-Communist! Look, in the corner! It's
the ghost of Joe McCarthy, standing next to the devil in a J. Edgar
Hoover costume! We must act quickly!

Subject: T-Mobile US Open to Open RAN
By Dan Meyer
BARCELONA, Spain – T-Mobile US has been aggressive in rolling out new
technology to support its rapidly expanding 5G network, but has so far
not dipped its commercial toe into the open radio access network (RAN)
space.
Neville Ray, president of technology at T-Mobile US, explained during
a one-on-one interview at the MWC Barcelona 2023 event that the
carrier’s lack of open RAN depth is due to timing. He explained that
the technology lacked maturity when the carrier kicked off its
expansive network upgrade program.
“For us, we didn’t go down on open RAN path when we made our big
vendor decisions three years ago,” Ray said. “The pace and scale that
we were moving on, features and capabilities we needed, the ecosystem
just was not ready. And the O-RAN guys will tell you that.”
