The new AT&T IoT Marketplace turns complex IoT procurement and lifecycle management into a catalog-driven digital experience that aims to speed revenue and reduce operational friction for enterprises and partners. AT&T, working with Ericsson, introduced a digital eCommerce platform that unifies how IoT services are discovered, configured, contracted, provisioned, and billed. The Marketplace is powered by Ericssonโs Digital Experience Platform alongside its Catalogue Manager and Order Care components. AT&T reports it has cut the time it takes to order certain fleet management services from hours to minutes, an indicator of the step-change in operational efficiency the Marketplace is designed to deliver.

OpenAI has acquired Roi, a New Yorkโbased personal finance startup founded in 2022 that built an AI companion to aggregate and advise on a userโs full financial footprint across stocks, crypto, DeFi, real estate, and NFTs. The move extends a year of acqui-hires at OpenAI, following Context.ai, Crossing Minds, and Alex. Personalization is becoming the moat for AI consumer products. Models are converging in capability, so durable advantage shifts to data, context, and engagement design. OpenAIโs Roi acqui-hire is less about a finance app and more about owning the personalization layer across consumer AI.

OpenAI is reportedly preparing a standalone app for its next-gen video model, positioning AI-only short video as a consumer format in its own right. The app reportedly delivers a vertical feed with swipe navigation, reactions, and remixing familiar mechanics that lower friction for discovery and creation. Every clip is generated by Sora 2 rather than uploaded, with current limits around 10 seconds per video. A recommendation engine powers a personalized โFor Youโ experience, aligning with how short-form attention is won and retained today. A notable feature is identity verification tied to likeness usage. Expect provenance signals and watermarking frameworks (for example, C2PA-style manifests) to become table stakes for platforms that remix human likeness at scale.

ChatGPT users in the U.S. can now buy from Etsy sellers without leaving the conversation, with more than a million Shopify merchants โcoming soon.โ The feature, called Instant Checkout, is available to logged-in Free, Plus, and Pro users. It supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe, and credit cards. The flow is simple: ask for ideas, get curated products with images, prices, and reviews, tap Buy, confirm shipping and payment, and the merchant fulfills the order using its existing systems. Brands like Glossier, Skims, Spanx, and Vuori are expected to be part of the broader Shopify rollout.

Large arenas now live or die on mobile performance: digital ticketing, cashless concessions, in-seat ordering, real-time replays, and social sharing all hinge on dense, resilient RF. With nearly 20,000 seats and a heavy calendar of sports and concerts, the Moda Center joins a cohort of tier-one venues investing in 5G as core infrastructure rather than a nice-to-have. American Towerโs role as a neutral host is noteworthy; it positions the venue to support multiple operators on a shared platform, spreading cost, accelerating carrier onboarding, and improving consistency across the โRose Quarter,โ including the adjacent Veteransโ Memorial Coliseum.

Telefรณnica reports โฌ77 billion invested over ten years to expand sustainable, resilient connectivity, with SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure) as the strategic anchor. The operator now serves nearly 350 million accesses, has passed 81.4 million premises with FTTH, and runs one of the largest ultra-broadband footprints globally, second in scale only to China. Spain is Telefรณnicaโs showcase for fiber-led modernization. Dense FTTH has enabled a managed copper switch-off, which simplifies operations, cuts energy use, and improves service quality. The operator targets net zero by 2040 – ten years ahead of many international timelinesโand reports a 52% reduction in CO2 emissions across the value chain from 2015 to 2024.

Malaysiaโs five mobile operators will federate a GSMA Open Gateway API to give banks and online retailers a consistent, cross-network tool to fight account takeovers and digital identity theft. CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile, Telekom Malaysia, and YTL Communications plan to provide federated access to the GSMA Open Gateway Number Verification API, based on the CAMARA standard. The API verifies a userโs mobile number against real-time network attributes, offering a more secure, low-friction alternative to SMS one-time passwords. Network-anchored verification provides silent, possession-based authentication that reduces user friction and closes common OTP exploits. Developers can integrate once and reach all participating Malaysian networks while each operator retains control of data, policy, and monetization.

Google Labs has launched Mixboard, an AI-powered concepting board that turns text prompts and images into editable visual mood boards now available in U.S. public beta. Mixboard gives users an open canvas to generate, arrange, and iterate on visual ideas, from home decor and event themes to product inspiration and DIY projects. You can start from a text prompt or prebuilt boards, pull in your own images, create new visuals with generative AI, and refine them using natural-language edits. Mixboard signals how fast multimodal AI is moving from chat to visual ideation, with implications for search, commerce, and collaborative workflows.

Alibaba Cloud is integrating Nvidiaโs Physical AI toolchain into its Cloud Platform for AI, bringing robotics-grade simulation, training, and deployment capabilities to customers. Alibaba and Nvidia unveiled a partnership that embeds Nvidiaโs embodied AI development tools directly into Alibabaโs machine learning platform. The integration targets robotics, autonomous driving, and โconnected spacesโ such as warehouses and factories. Physical AI refers to software that models the real world in 3D, generates synthetic data, and trains control policies with reinforcement learning before deploying to physical systems. Developers on Alibaba Cloud gain access to toolchains for data processing, simulation-based training, and real-world reinforcement learning.

Indonesiaโs three leading mobile players – Telkomsel, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), and XLSMART -have formed a joint Telco API Alliance to standardize network-exposed APIs and harden the countryโs digital ecosystem against fraud. The alliance commits all three operators to a common telco API protocol aligned with CAMARA, the open-source, Linux Foundationโhosted API project supported by the GSMA Open Gateway initiative. The initial roll-out centers on customer protection and fraud preventionโareas where network signals offer high value. SIM Swap detection flags recent SIM changes, a leading indicator of account takeover risk.
