Episode #16 - Beyond NaaS: Enabling new MSP and ISP revenue with Network-as-a-Platform. Karl May, CEO and Founder, Join Digital

In this episode, Karl May, CEO and Founder of Join Digital, breaks down the shift from Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) to Network-as-a-Platform.

We explore how this evolution opens new revenue opportunities for MSPs and ISPs by combining open hardware, software-first networking, and AI-powered operations.

Karl shares how Join’s approach helps providers significantly reduce costs, scale without adding staff, and deliver real enterprise-grade uptime.

Listeners will learn why the platform model matters, how OpenLAN changes the economics of networking, and what managed service providers can do today to capture growth in this new era.
