3. Why don’t Carrier
Clouds look like AWS?

4. Carriers building for the
past ... not the future

5. Carriers today are
building ‘Legacy Clouds’
...
aka ‘Enterprise Clouds’

6. What’s the flaw with
Legacy (Enterprise)
Clouds?

7. There are two flaws,
actually ...

8. Flaw #1
Enterprise computing is
not cloud computing
