Abstract
The challenge for the Telco is to find a viable technological and market perspective for escaping from the consolidation of current business. The paper argues that the virtualization and the creation of a platform for supporting a Virtual Continuum between real objects and their clones in the cloud can be a means to radically transform the present service paradigm. In order to achieve this goal the Telcos have to design, implement and deploy a new platform for future networks that enables the role of Service Enabler. The platform has to displace the consolidate client server paradigm addressing enabling distributed processing technologies like: software defined networking, overlay, and autonomic networking.
