This document discusses the Open RAN revolution and issues with disaggregation. It notes that while Open RAN aims to decouple hardware and software to diversify the supply chain, various factions within Open RAN are not addressing the most important barrier of validation and economics. The document proposes an "Open RAN System Release Validation as a Service" approach to help restore efficiencies lost from disaggregating an entire system that traditionally functioned holistically. This would enable vendors to "Test Once, Deploy Many Times."

Open RAN Revolution: You say you want disaggregation, well you know, we all want to change the world Andy Jones jonesthefone consulting May 2020
Open RAN Manifesto Decouple hardw are and softw are Democratize innovation Diversify the supply chain Disrupt the duopoly in the West De-risk risky vendors from the East Disaggregation Rules OK!
2 Cracks have appeared in Open RAN [that] could rival the split between the People's Front of Judea and the Judean People's Front in Life of Brian None of the various factions is addressing the most important barrier to Open RAN economics & adoption Open RAN United Front or Divided Factions?
Disaggregation undermines holistic efficiencies Major incumbent vendors have >100 years of system engineering experien They are masters in the art of System Release Management Full RAN system is validated once at goods out for every major release Functionality and performance is validated 1919 1939 1969
