If SCOPE did not exist, what would the impact be on COTS adoption in the carrier Grade Platform space?
SCOPE provides guidance to the ecosystem without which the COTS adoption of Carrier Grade Platform standards and specifications would be a slower process. SCOPE considers all relevant standards and specifications in a Carrier Grade Platform context and will identify any gap, promote and enable consistency across all relevant standards and specifications. Due to the richness and flexibility of existing standards and specifications, the market would likely be fragmented and the advantages of economies of scale would be lost.
