Web3 is redefining the telecom industry by introducing decentralized infrastructure, blockchain-based billing, smart contracts, NFTs, and digital identity. This article explores how telcos can evolve from connectivity providers to key players in Web3 ecosystemsโ€”offering programmable services, token economies, and secure, user-centric digital experiences.
Network APIs are redefining the telecom sector, enabling real-time services, secure mobile payments, IoT support, and cross-industry innovation. With projected market growth to $30B by 2030, telecom leaders are focusing on standardization, ecosystem collaboration, and developer engagement to unlock the full value of APIs in the 5G era.
Dirty data in data centers undermines everything from AI accuracy to energy efficiency. With poor metadata, data drift, and dark data hoarding driving up costs and emissions, organizations must adopt DataOps, metadata tools, and a strong data culture to reverse the trend. Learn how clean data fuels smarter automation, compliance, and sustainability.
In 2025, data centers are at the forefront of AI innovation, balancing the explosive growth of AI workloads with urgent sustainability goals. This article explores how brownfield and greenfield developments help operators manage demand, support low-latency AI services, and drive toward net-zero carbon targets.
A focus on efficiency and cost-cutting, often driven by “bean counters” and “time and motion” experts, stifles innovation and leads to job losses, mirroring the current AI discourse. Overemphasis on efficiency, like the race to the bottom, can ultimately harms everyone except the initial beneficiaries. For example, distributed energy where building new infrastructure and expanding into new sectors, like solar, generates jobs in manufacturing, installation, and new industries. Instead of solely fearing job displacement, we should prioritize investment in innovation, education, entrepreneurship, and just transition policies to create a future where progress benefits all through job creation. I advocate for strategic investment to build the future, instead of just shrinking the present.
AI promises major gains for telecom operators, but most initiatives stall due to outdated, fragmented inventory systems. Discover why unified, service-aware inventory is the missing link for successful AI in telecomโ€”and how operators can build a smarter, impact-ready foundation for automation with VC4’s Service2Create (S2C) platform.
AI Pulse: Telecomโ€™s Next Frontier is a definitive guide to how AI is reshaping the telecom landscape โ€” strategically, structurally, and commercially. Spanning over 130 pages, this MWC 2025 special edition explores AIโ€™s growing maturity in telecom, offering a comprehensive look at the technologies and trends driving transformation.

Explore strategic AI pillarsโ€”from AI Ops and Edge AI to LLMs, AI-as-a-Service, and governanceโ€”and learn how telcos are building AI-native architectures and monetization models. Discover insights from 30+ global CxOs, unpacking shifts in leadership thinking around purpose, innovation, and competitive advantage.

The edition also examines connected industries at the intersection of Private 5G, AI, and Satelliteโ€”fueling transformation in smart manufacturing, mobility, fintech, ports, sports, and more. From fan engagement to digital finance, from smart cities to the industrial metaverse, this is the roadmap to telecomโ€™s next eraโ€”where intelligence is the new infrastructure, and telcos become the enablers of everything connected.
In The Gateway to a New Future, top global telecom leadersโ€”Marc Murtra (Telefรณnica), Vicki Brady (Telstra), Sunil Bharti Mittal (Airtel), Biao He (China Mobile), and Benedicte Schilbred Fasmer (Telenor)โ€”share bold visions for reshaping the industry. From digital sovereignty and regulatory reform in Europe, to AI-powered smart cities in China and fintech platforms in Africa, these executives reveal how telecom is evolving into a driving force of global innovation, inclusion, and collaboration. The telco of tomorrow is not just a networkโ€”itโ€™s a platform for economic and societal transformation.
In Beyond Connectivity: The Telco to Techco Transformation, leaders from e&, KDDI, and MTN reveal how telecoms are evolving into technology-first, platform-driven companies. These digital pioneers are integrating AI, 5G, cloud, smart infrastructure, and fintech to unlock massive valueโ€”from AI-powered smart cities in Japan, to inclusive fintech platforms in Africa, and cloud-first enterprise solutions in the Middle East. This piece explores how telcos are reshaping their role in the digital economyโ€”building intelligent, scalable, and people-first tech ecosystems.
In Technology, Climate Change and Justice, top leaders from Arm, The B Team, Vattenfall, and Silo AI outline how technology can both fuel and fix the climate crisis. From Leah Seligmannโ€™s values-driven climate leadership to Anna Borgโ€™s clean-energy grids and Peter Sarlinโ€™s push for efficient, open-source AI, this piece highlights how innovation must align with inclusion, sustainability, and resilience. The message is clear: solving climate change isnโ€™t just about new techโ€”itโ€™s about how we deploy it, who benefits, and whether it truly serves a livable future.
The future of manufacturing is intelligent, autonomous, and sustainable. Powered by private 5G networks, AI, and digital twins, smart factories are revolutionizing how goods are produced and maintained. From predictive maintenance to immersive virtual twins and AI-optimized energy systems, smart manufacturing is unlocking new levels of efficiency and innovation across industriesโ€”from ports and shipyards to agriculture and healthcare.
