Google has introduced a sharply priced AI Plus subscription in India to push generative AI into the mass market and counter OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go. The AI Plus plan launches at ₹199 per month for new users for six months, then moves to ₹399 per month. The bundle raises usage limits for Gemini 3 Pro, unlocks video generation within Google’s apps, expands NotebookLM’s “deep research” capabilities, and adds 200GB of storage across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail. Family sharing is included, signaling a household-centric growth strategy.
Versant’s lineup spans USA Network, CNBC, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel, plus Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, GolfPass and SportsEngine. Management argues the reach of up to ~65 million households and a 62% live programming mix gives it durable leverage in news and sports while it builds digital and direct-to-consumer (DTC) revenue. For MVPDs, vMVPDs and broadband providers, this is a new negotiating counterparty with incentives to protect affiliate value while expanding FAST, OTA and DTC channels that can bypass bundles. Versant stock will trade on Nasdaq as VSNT starting January 5, 2026.
Airbus Defence and Space has introduced Agnet Direct, a multi-mode extension to its 3GPP-based Agnet portfolio that keeps teams connected when commercial or private 4G/5G coverage is compromised. Agnet Direct has been validated within France’s Réseau Radio du Futur (RRF), the nationwide secure broadband network for domestic security and emergency services. The solution combines a smartphone running the Agnet application with a smart remote speaker microphone (RSM) to deliver resilient communications across four operational modes. Agnet integrates with existing TETRA and Tetrapol estates, enabling hybrid operations where radio users and smartphone users communicate across shared talkgroups.
Cisco’s intent to acquire Seattle-based NeuralFabric signals a decisive shift toward practical, domain-specific AI that meets real-world constraints around data, compliance, and infrastructure. Cisco plans to acquire NeuralFabric, an enterprise AI platform focused on building small language models (SLMs) from proprietary data with deployment across SaaS and on-premises environments. By focusing on SLMs trained on enterprise data and deployable in hybrid environments, Cisco aims to shorten time-to-value while keeping control where it belongs—inside the business. They reduce inference cost, improve latency, and can be deployed on-premises or at the edge—critical for sectors like telecom, financial services, and healthcare.
Singtel has sold another slice of its Bharti Airtel holding, freeing up capital to fund growth while continuing to rebalance a long-standing strategic investment. Singapore-based Singtel monetised roughly 0.8% of Airtel for about S$1.5 billion (approximately US$1.2 billion), recording an estimated net gain of S$1.1 billion. The sale is part of a multi-year capital management programme launched in 2021. Management has framed the initiative as a way to strengthen the balance sheet and redeploy capital into higher-growth digital infrastructure and digital services, while progressively equalising its Airtel ownership with Bharti Enterprises over time.
TELUS has taken full ownership of TELUS Digital, a move designed to consolidate AI-powered customer experience, SaaS, and automation capabilities across its telecom, health, and agriculture businesses while unlocking material cost efficiencies. TELUS acquired all remaining TELUS Digital shares for US$4.50 per share, valuing the transaction at approximately US$539 million and issuing a small portion of TELUS common shares alongside cash to complete the deal; the entity will be delisted from the TSX and NYSE and cease public reporting. Management targets roughly US$150 million in annual efficiencies from automation, business simplification, and tighter cross-selling.
