I think you'll need to be more specific about what you call
an operator cloud network.

If it is just services hosted within the operator network,
I doubt that there's value in using the word "cloud".  To
the mobile node and rest of the infrastructure how a service
is provided above layer-3 should not be of concern.

As far as mobile nodes being part of a cloud, that's a
totally different problem, is it not?  I doubt that should
be in scope here.  DMM is hard enough without bringing
this in.
