note
The chapter text is split across columns in the PDF; the quote is reassembled. Deloitte's 2025 Updates article restates this prediction as 'global active public network Open RAN deployments would double from 35 to 70'. The chapter also cites an outside estimate that open RAN will approach 10% of the RAN market by 2025.
