  How network slicing will enable future 5G networks ? : Telefónica - ITU Hub

Among the new breakthroughs 5G will bring, we can highlight Network slicing, a key technology that will transform fixed and mobile networks and allow operators to provide multiple virtual networks each serving diverse services with different needs and requirements, over a common physical infrastructure in a transparent and dynamic way. (...) Another example could be the capability of delivering (virtual) private cellular networks, in a much more flexible way. (...) Network slicing is still a concept and requires the development of some basic underlying technologies, such as: virtualization, cloud RAN, cloud control of the network lifecycle, a fully automated management and orchestration mechanism, a flexible air interface allowing multiple different usages of the network, and a flexible transport scheme, among others.

  What’s next for a telecoms industry in flux? Which partnerships are working? - ITU Hub

So, technology isn’t the main issue, although this is changing dramatically with virtualization, cloud computing and ever more powerful end devices. (...) “Technological shifts in the telecoms world have traditionally been dictated by the telcos and their culture. Virtualization and Cloud are IT-centric developments that clash with the network engineering culture of the telco.” (...) Why haven’t Software-Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization (SDN/NFV) taken off as fast as expected?

The second part focuses on the privacy and data protection implications of Extended Reality Technologies (XR), which include Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), contributing to session one, “Addressing human rights risks in business models.” (...) This tracking can be needed for making virtual scenes feel natural, but can also reveal sensitive medical and psychological information, which companies may choose to store on their own servers.8 Specifically, providers may analyze data in an attempt to infer a user's thought, personality or mental traits, our “biometric psychographic”9 as well as the efficacy of the companies’ influence on a user, such as with advertisements. (...) Eye tracking, for instance, may be helpful to reduce disorientation in a virtual world, or to increase image quality where a user is currently looking.
