      • How are operators organized to support and enhance ONAP in production

      • @Ryan Hallahan these were just our ideas. It is difficult to see things from an outsider's perspective.

      • @Atul Purohit asked for additional perspectives

      • @Fernando Oliveira think having these things notes along w/ pros/cons

      • @Javier Ger think this is good overall. It is difficult for us as there are no local integrators. There may be other geographies that are in similar situations

      • @Scott Blandford the perspective of the doc is in a sales/marketing context. Not just gratuitous sharing of operator info.
