TR-069 protocol turns 20, prepares to ride off into the sunset

Technical report 69, or TR-069, which defines how people's broadband routers and other customer-premises equipment can be remotely managed and provisioned by ISPs and others, is turning 20 years old.
Now's the time for TR-069, aka the CPE WAN Management Protocol, to retire gracefully, and be succeeded by TR-369 aka the User Services Platform or USP.
Jason Walls, a co-director at the Broadband Forum, which oversees these technical specification, assures our Brandon Vigliarolo in this interview that it's going to be a smooth transition.
