LIVE AT MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2024: The 5G and Beyond keynote session on day one was less 5G and more cloud and artifical intelligence (AI), which was perhaps predictable, though equally predictable was that operators Ethio Telecom and Veon would have slightly different perspectives on the topic from those representing more developed markets like Telstra, Liberty Global and Deutsche Telekom.
Mobile World Congress 2024 takes place next week, and Developing Telecoms will be at the show in Barcelona to report on the major trends that will shape the sector in emerging markets across the next year.
Interest in artificial intelligence (AI) as a potential game-changer for the telecoms industry will continue to build through 2024, and in turn drive experimentation and innovation across many areas of telcos’ businesses and those of their customers.
As year-end approaches, analyst and consultancy firms, industry players and assorted commentators are once again posting their predictions for telecoms in 2024. However diverse their research interests or business focus, almost all of these forecasts share a common theme this time around - namely the expected impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the industry as a whole in the year ahead.
