We usually look at the present or the future of technologies. In this podcast with Mansoor Hanif, Independent Executive Advisor, we took a look at the past. What were the challenges for network automation six years ago? What did we expect? In one of the first Sparring Partners on automation included in this report, I talked to Mansoor while he was at BT about zero-touch automation, AI and much more. He then moved to Ofcom and Neom, continuing to follow the progress of automation.

Here, we revisit the initial interview in light of the progress made and the expected outcomes. We were surprised to see that most of the challenges are still with us and that the predictions turned out to be accurate. But read the interview, listen to the podcast, and judge for yourself.
