Have a look on following points:
1. It did not make sense to rely on a proprietary solution for an end-to-end MANO (Management, Automation and Network Orchestration) solution, which would have been the traditional approach.
2. AT&T realized that ‘cracking’ VNF orchestration and automating lifecycle processes would be crucial to reaching its target of virtualizing 75% of its network by 2020. Its decision to recruit telecom operators and blue chip vendors as founding members of ECOMP established the collaborative direction that would eventually see the project converted to an entirely open-source initiative.
3. Having direct access to the VNF code reduces the operators’ dependence on vendors. This has obvious time and cost implications, and will also transform the operators-vendor’s relationship to become much more collaborative in nature.
