For the fourth consecutive year, Verizon is recognized by CIO 100 for its impact on elevating and simplifying the network experience for customers.


Developed by Verizon, the Network Alpha Factory (NAF) enables a streamlined experience for customers to have the optimal network available while managing operational costs. Doing so helps transform Verizon’s network to be future-ready, faster, stronger, and more efficient. NAF is also vital to enable low-latency data and compute-heavy use cases such as Fixed Wireless Access and private 5G.

“Verizon’s Network Systems team winning its fourth consecutive CIO 100 Award validates our forward-thinking strategy, not only for producing innovative technology but accelerating the network experience for our customers,” said Velamur Sudharsan, Network Systems, SVP & CIO.

The annual CIO 100 Awards celebrate 100 organizations and the teams within them using Information Technology (IT) in innovative ways. These teams deliver business value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimizing business processes, enabling growth or improving relationships with customers. The award is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence.

Apple’s fall software updates introduce admin-grade switches to govern how corporate users access ChatGPT and other external AI services across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple is enabling IT teams to explicitly allow or block the use of an enterprise-grade ChatGPT within Apple Intelligence, with a design that treats OpenAI as one of several possible external providers. Practically, that means admins can set policy to route requests either to Apples own stack or to a sanctioned third-party provider, and disable external routing entirely when required.
India’s AI oversight for telecom is moving from recommendations to implementation, with policy review and technical workstreams running in parallel. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has issued recommendations on leveraging artificial intelligence and big data in telecom, including the creation of an independent statutory authority for AI governance. The proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Authority of India (AIDAI) is envisioned to promote responsible AI development and regulate sectoral use cases. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has initiated projects with research bodies and universities focused on how to ensure and test AI trustworthiness.
According to telecom experts, 6G communication is expected to be path-breaking in its offerings.
