• Jio launched Gigafiber (FTTH) to connect 50 mn homes across 1100 cities
in India
• Orange to target 20 mn homes passed in 2021
• Deutsche Telekom earmarked $27B for the next five years for its German
landline and mobile networks, small cells and the digitalization of
infrastructure
• Deutsche Telekom to create open source, low latency edge platform
available to operators to enable to launch 5G applications faster
• Successfully tested edge computing on a live 5G network in Houston
• TIP, the Facebook backed Telecom Infra Project forms new edge
computing unit
