Session Description

Join leaders shaping the future across personal, societal, and enterprise realms: smart wearables that empower individual health choices, AI solutions that bridge economic and technological divides, and next-layer network infrastructure that allows organisations the reach and speed to do more. Together, they’re designing a world where connection & data drives empowerment at every level.

Moderator: Justin Springham, Publisher , Mobile World Live, GSMA

Keynote: How Oura Is Transforming Health Outcomes and Influencing Human Psychology  – Tom Hale, CEO, Oura

Fireside Chat: Thriving in the AI Economy: Why AI Demands a New Internet Architecture  – Kate Johnson, CEO, Lumen

As AI usage surges, speed replaces transactions as the key measure of value, placing modern network infrastructure and seamless AI connectivity at the center of economic value creation. Kate Johnson addresses the urgent need for next-generation, AI-native internet architecture (“Cloud 2.0”) and why the winners in the AI economy will be those who can move data instantly, securely, and effortlessly across a distributed digital landscape.

AI Agents Solved Telecom’s Automation Problem – And Exposed the Accountability Gap No One’s Ready For

AI Agents Solved Telecom's Automation Problem - And Exposed the Accountability Gap No One's Ready For
Telecom just crossed a line it spent years approaching carefully. AI agents are no longer confined to recommending fixes to network engineers — in a growing number of deployments, they're diagnosing faults and proposing remediations that a human simply signs off on, rather than performs. Nokia's work with Google Cloud is a clear marker of how far this has come: agents built on Gemini now sit inside Nokia's Assurance Center, and early results point to fault-resolution times cut by more than half, sometimes by as much as 80 percent. That's the part of the story getting the headlines. It's also, in a sense, the easy part... The harder question — the one the industry has mostly deferred — is what happens structurally once agents stop merely proposing and start acting, especially across more than one system at a time.

Agentic AI Builds Out Across the Network: AI & Automation Insights, June 2026

Agentic AI Builds Out Across the Network: AI & Automation Insights, June 2026
June 2026 showed agentic AI scaling from pilot to platform: industry-wide standards momentum, AI-RAN field trials from Nokia, Amdocs and KDDI, and fresh capital across data centers on three continents. This full roundup covers every deployment, partnership, funding round and governance move from the month, with tools to prioritise AI use cases and plan the network around them.

What makes a telecom AI agent different from a generic one

What makes a telecom AI agent different from a generic one
Telecom AI agents share the same anatomy as any AI agent - but grounding, systems, stakes, goals, and multi-vendor interoperability set them apart. Here are the five differences that matter, plus how to evaluate an agent before you trust it on a live network.

Adoption Is Settled, ROI Is the Question: Private Network Insights, June 2026

Adoption Is Settled, ROI Is the Question: Private Network Insights, June 2026
With GSA counting 2,003 private mobile network references, June 2026's story shifted from whether private cellular works to what it returns. This roundup covers TeckNexus's vertical ROI tools, 3GPP's confirmed 6G timeline, AI moving into the RF layer, CBRS SAS consolidation, and a widening set of verticals from mining to healthcare.

Eight major US carriers Form C2 ISAC to Strengthen Network Cybersecurity

Eight major US carriers Form C2 ISAC to Strengthen Network Cybersecurity
Eight of the most influential US telecommunications carriers — including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Comcast — have established the Communications Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Analysis Center, known as C2 ISAC. Governed by the CISOs of each founding company and led by a director with CISA and FBI experience, C2 ISAC is designed to deliver real-time, actionable threat intelligence across competing carriers that collectively defend America's critical communications infrastructure. Operations are expected to begin in June 2026.
