John Donovan, Chief Strategy Officer and Group President, Technology and Operations at AT&T said in his keynote at Open Networking Summit that the company is “all in” in virtualizing its network. In 2015 the company virtualized over 5% of their network, and that was the hardest part as it was laying the foundation for the future. Now they are aiming at 30% in 2016.
