 All right. Well, hey, thank you, Arpit, for the kind introduction and welcome everyone. It's a real honor to be with you again this year. And it's certainly been a year. And it's hard to believe that it's been more than two years since this global pandemic really forever changed the way we work and the way we connect. And it is no longer just work in the office versus work from home. The new normal is work from everywhere. And despite this shift brought on by COVID-19, AT&T has been on a journey of change for many years. And keeping our customers connected no matter where they are has long been the heartbeat of this company. And just last month AT&T celebrated 146 years of innovation. And we will continue building on that legacy with the people that we serve. And so the work we do is just really critical just to millions of people and businesses and first responders. So I'm really, really proud to be part of this firm. So let's get started here. And let me talk a bit about what's been going on at AT&T with respect to the network. I'm very proud to say that our network withstood the unprecedented demands during the pandemic thanks to the forward-looking strategy investments and the work we put into our open initiatives in the past decade. Specifically, the virtualization of our network is the foundation of everything we do. And open-source technology is a major part of this. Having a mostly virtualized and software-enabled network enables us to respond rapidly to new demands on the network. And even those caused by an extended worldwide pandemic and supply chain pressures that I know we're all dealing with here. The pandemic made us extremely aware of how vital broadband access is, be it fiber or 5G, not only for enterprises, public safety, and education, and also just in our everyday lives and interactions. And so the new normal has put us at the forefront of broadband connectivity from anywhere to everywhere. And this fuels the need for a new generation of converged connectivity services that meets customers' specific needs from bandwidth to more simplified user experiences. So today, I'd like to share with you our choice in adopting open systems and how that's paid back huge dividends to this new normal that we're all living in. So let me share some stats with you here. So when it comes to our network at AT&T, even without the pandemic, we were carrying more data than ever before. In fact, our global network carries more than 525 petabytes of data traffic on an average day. As you can see, this growth has not slowed and continues to increase. And I'm hoping here the slide will change because looks like it's behind here. There we go. So you can see this really unprecedented growth that we've seen across the network. But as everyone is aware, the global supply chain to support this growth has faced disruptions with factories shutdowns at COVID hotspots around the world and also many, many shipping log jams. And so when the supply chain challenges hit, we were able to maintain and grow our stock of open compute platform hardware in our warehouses. This hardware is the disaggregated platform that is based on Broadcom Silicon and a flexible distributed disaggregated chassis design. This can be deployed in a pizza box or as a chassis cluster with multiple boxes interconnected via a fabric switch. And as network demands shift, we could deploy this stock of hardware in our network, whether at the edge of the network needing one terabit to a customer data center at appearing connection needing 10 terabits or deep inside our network as our MPLS core routers need typically over 100 terabits of capacity. And this is really important to enable such a widely varying router personality. All we needed to do was load the right software onto the common hardware and distributing that software is one of the things that is not impacted by these challenges in the physical supply chain world. So this was really a huge benefit for us. We are now well into our journey to converge this disparate edge implementations we have today with common software and hardware driving uniformity simplification and agility. AT&T now has over 75,000 open hardware platforms in production in our network today. And we now have 30% of our core backbone traffic on open hardware. Our cloud strategy has also benefited us as well and how it's enabled us to separate physical compute infrastructure and the software innovation that's riding on top of it. Thanks to these investments and our commitment to collaborative open source initiatives, AT&T's network was able to withstand the new normal demands. And as you can see from these examples, that's the power of having an open software centric network. It enables a much more agile dynamic network that can elastically scale to meet our customer's demands. The power of open is critical to AT&T. It enables a richer and more diverse ecosystem of solution providers with plug and play at the boundaries of services and new network capabilities. This is an area where AT&T has a great deal of experience. We are proud to not only contribute and share our expertise but also to champion and apply open solutions on a massive scale. So speaking of open solutions on a massive scale, we are growing the open ecosystem in the radio access network space by focusing on open interfaces and components. To accomplish this, AT&T is working with the O-RAN Alliance to rapidly address the needs and priorities of the operator community, driving and developing specifications for relevant end-to-end open ran solutions. To rapidly drive commercial availability of these key O-RAN capabilities, AT&T is leading several use cases, including MIMO-based capabilities and optimization of network capacity. MIMO is all about maximizing wireless bandwidth while minimizing interference, creating the best quality and user experience. MIMO will also play a critical role in achieving AT&T's network capacity enhancements for new use cases, especially those involving increased uplink usage. By the way, optimized MIMO is also green. It reduces the spectrum and power required to transfer each bit. And to accelerate the availability of carrier-grade commercial products, O-RAN is verifying and validating its own specifications as well as open source implementations through the biannual proof of concepts and plug-fests that we have deployed across the world. O-RAN is also helping us and the industry to shift from multiple closed-vendor tools towards an open-vendor-neutral management solutions across the vendor's rands, enabling carrier-grade automation and analytics to help optimize networks. This open systems approach with open interfaces enables a marketplace for third-party solutions. So O-RAN is only one area of work with the open source community. Let me highlight a couple more examples to demonstrate how end-to-end 5G services can be orchestrated across the ran and the packet core. The Linux Foundation's networking 5G super blueprint that RPID alluded to brings together a variety of mature open source-based technologies, including cloud orchestration. Our cloud strategy for standalone mobility core and beyond makes the cloud-native concepts a significant focus here at AT&T. We see the cloud-native computing foundation as a key innovator and an enabler in accelerating the evolution of cloud-native concepts towards opening up and becoming more telco-grade solutions available to all. In fact, the CNCF serves as the home for many of the fastest-growing open source projects that we use here at AT&T, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Hell. So the open technologies developed in these communities are essential in providing end-to-end services from the edge to the core, as well as for converging mobility and fiber broadband connectivity. AT&T is working to enable rich ecosystems of connectivity-based solutions for customers. Consider the connectivity-derived disruption is playing out across almost every major industry today. Think about software-defined, connected cars, smart buildings in the real estate space, logistic startups that offer Uber-style tracking for packages, and Peloton shaking up the fitness business. AT&T's connectivity has enabled many of these connected products. But to build a connected product today, business leaders need to navigate a bewildering variety of risks. As a company, we want to guide our customers safely through these connectivity-derived disruptions. We can differentiate our network capabilities by integrating our suite of products and platforms that they can create without third parties and without the need to deploy heavy capital. So AT&T is undergoing a longer-term shift towards converged fiber and mobility connectivity services that together will be positioned to support software-defined, value-added services on top. This will be accomplished by opening up our connectivity and network capabilities that use our converged mobility and fiber broadband network in new and interesting ways by assembling innovative services that focus on customer experiences. Our connectivity and network capabilities will be exposed through an on-demand model, similar to the cloud, where they can be procured and managed on-demand through portals and APIs on a self-service basis. These cloud-like portals and APIs will make it simple for solutions, providers, and our customers to define and manage an experience that best meets their needs at any moment in time on-demand. So we need to accelerate the realization of true multi-bender interoperability based on O-RAN abstractions and open interfaces. At the heart of this are the information and data models for model-driven open architectures, along with copyright licensing approaches to facilitate the use of standards-based content. Specifications and implementations are not enough on their own. To achieve carrier-grade interoperability, we need strong certification programs to ensure open interfaces. Wireless and fiber broadband services are undergoing rapid and significant technological changes as we enter a new age of connectivity that is fueled by the widespread growth and availability of converging broadband services. Together, 5G and fiber are providing greater ubiquity, reliability, security, capacity, and of course speed. So many exciting open-source projects have helped the AT&T network handle the tsunami of data, the pandemic, and this new era in connectivity have created. I want to thank all the open-source communities for your contributions and the Open Networking and Edge Executive Forum for the opportunities to share this with you today. And I want to thank you all for your time and I hope you enjoy the rest of the forum. And so with that, Arpit, I'll hand it back to you for a couple of questions. Okay, thank you, Andrei. All right, there you go. Very good. That was very insightful, as always. And I know people have a lot of questions. Feel free to ask generic questions, not vendor-specific. Clearly, those are not something that we can answer on there. But I do have a question just from a timing perspective. You have been keynoting these kind of events for years now. And you have been participating and you have been driving the industry leadership towards what the right thing or the next thing is. Can you give a quick overview of how you have seen over the last several years a shift in the open community from a mindset or participation or contribution or focus perspective? Any insights on that? And what should they be doing in the next two, three years as a community? Because most of them are listening on the call today. No, absolutely. I mean, I've always sort of thought the network has been sort of this orphan stepchild when it comes to comparing to what's been going on in compute and storage. And I think, you know, to your question, what's sort of changed over the years is really seeing how the hyperscalers are now, as well as the telcos are now coming together more on this. Certainly in our space in the telco arena, some of the largest cloud service providers have really stepped up, as we've seen actually within the last year or so, to really get involved in what it takes to handle carrier grade workloads. And certainly AT&T, you know, we've worked very closely with Microsoft and what they're doing with Azure to make that better position for telcos. But even watching what's happening in Google and AWS is also really great to see. And, you know, you've certainly heard a lot of announcements, acquisitions, transactions that are helping facilitate this. And so I think that's kind of the big, I would say, one of the biggest changes we're seeing. And I think this is great because it's going to open up a lot of these developer ecosystems to be more exposed to like what we're doing here today and get these developers more interested in finding out what can the network do to make their applications, their experiences, whatever their product or service is better. Because the network more and more has become a critical component behind that. So that's what I would say is probably one of some of the bigger trends. Well, that's amazing. And, you know, I think from the participation and from the press, and as you say, from the M&A transaction and the value in the ecosystem, we've already seen tremendous partnerships and collaboration between not just the cloud service providers and the telecom, not just in U.S. but also globally. And the end users like us, you know, individual as well as enterprises that can build on that are using the building blocks. And the great news is open source is not, you know, it's completely known to the cloud service providers, right? They build the clouds on open source, right? They want. So versus we on a telecom side had to go through a transformation, you know, thanks to your effort at AT&T and all that. So very good. I think we, yes, we are at the exact hour that we need to move on. But Andre really appreciate and, you know, hope to see you in person at the Open Networking and Edge Summit in Seattle in November, right? But thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks for having me, Arbett. Thank you.
