Forging the Future of Telecoms Together. We're building a community of experts and problem-solvers across industry silos and beyond industry boundaries. We aim to make the telecoms industry grow; make it desirable to work in; responsive to customer needs; sustainable in societal, ethical and business terms; and simply better. This is not something any one company can solve, and it doesn't just depend on new technology, but working across the whole industry: business, policy, regulations, operations, services, infrastructure, R&D, staff and customers. Join the Forge and we'll help you share your ideas, say the unsayable and solve your problems... and, along with that, help reforge the telecoms industry. Source

The standards bodies deliver something technically advanced and vendors wait for operators to buy on the basis of these promises.

In 2025, China Mobile tested a fully level 4 autonomous network in Guangdong, and the results were certainly striking.

They’ve rolled it out to 300 million customers,” explained George Glass, CTO of TM Forum, in an interview with TelcoForge.
