China Telecom Giants Enter the AI Token Economy

China Telecom Giants Enter the AI Token Economy
China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom have each unveiled token-based service plans, ecosystem alliances, and commercial pricing structures that reframe what it means to be a telecom provider in the AI era. This is not a pilot program or a speculative roadmap. It is a structural shift in how network operators intend to generate revenue, compete for enterprise customers, and position themselves at the center of the AI economy — driven by a greater than 1,000-fold surge in daily token consumption across China between early 2024 and March 2026.

Trusted Tech Alliance Launches Global Trust Framework

Trusted Tech Alliance Launches Global Trust Framework
A new cross-industry consortium is forming to codify how trusted technology should be built, operated, and governed across borders. On February 13, 2026, fifteen companies spanning cloud, networks, semiconductors, software, and AI launched the Trusted Tech Alliance during the Munich Security Conference. The goal: define verifiable, provider-agnostic practices for a trustworthy technology stack—from connectivity and cloud infrastructure to chips, software, and AI—so customers and governments can rely on secure, resilient services regardless of where solutions are developed or deployed. Trust, sovereignty, and resilience are now gating factors for growth as AI scales and geopolitical risk reshapes supply chains.

Union Budget: COAI seeks telecom spectrum and levy reform

Union Budget: COAI seeks telecom spectrum and levy reform
With the Union Budget around the corner, the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) is asking for a structural fix to spectrum pricing, statutory levies, and GST that is designed to restore sector health and accelerate digital infrastructure build-out. COAI’s agenda centers on spectrum affordability, regulatory levy rationalization, and GST reform to unlock liquidity frozen as input tax credit. COAI argues for spending the sizable unused corpus first, holding the DBN levy in abeyance, and trimming license fees to roughly 0.5–1% to cover administrative costs. Cutting GST on regulatory payments from 18% to 5% would reduce the pace of new ITC build-up and meaningfully ease liquidity pressure.
