LTE subscribers use 146% more data than 3G?

This was just one of the interesting facts brought out by our recent webinar on virtualised and software defined mobile backhaul networks [which is now available on demand] and was a great excuse for a nice picture of cascading water (Open the floodgates).

But more importantly, this event is illustrative of the vast amount of interest in software defined networking (SDN) at the moment. So here's just a few of the headlines from the last month or so:
