Cisco CTO Highlights Blurry Line Between Wi‑Fi and Mobile
Day 2 at @wifinowevents Congress @Cisco Wireless CTO Matt McPherson up now with an update on wireless enterprise trends I’m curious whether the survey distinguished wireless/WiFi vs mobile - it’s an area with lots of semantic blurriness https://t.co/ZwtqbCYvGB
Waymo's Mandatory Google Login Kills User Interest
Downloaded @Waymo app as I was curious to try out its autonomous robotaxis Then deleted it after 10 seconds Absurd requirement to log in with a @Google account Hard no.

Amazon Tackles Indoor Satellite D2D, Revives Private 5G
@Amazon potentially just solved the indoor connectivity problem for #satellite #D2D. And got back into the #Private5G market as well. @Globalstar owns Xcom RAN, which has some very interesting solutions in that space https://t.co/DLmqfUvuJz https://t.co/CSCBYSvmUp
WiFi HaLow Emerges as Ideal Mid‑range IoT Solution
I’m increasingly a believer in the #WiFi #HaLow story for midrange #IoT connectivity, at least for integrated “solutions”, especially for industrial, commercial and smart-city applications. https://t.co/VtEhL1bJz8 https://t.co/euVaW697Ad

Edge Hype Overrated: Telcos Aren't Ready for Real-World Inference
Rolling my eyes at the EdgeWash nonsense from @opennebula panellist at @BERECeuropaeu event “Telcos in a unique position” to make edge inference happen. Not in the real world, no
6G ISAC Sensing and Regulation Highlighted at BEREC Workshop
I’m at the @BERECeuropaeu stakeholder workshop. I’ll do a full write up on LI But this is cool - @6G_SNS presentation has a slide on a topic I’ve been mentioning myself for a while: 6G #ISAC sensing & regulation https://t.co/c5fLmf7HIP
Gulf Conflict Triggers Hidden Telecom, Cloud Risks
What are the direct and indirect effects of the Gulf conflict on telecoms and cloud / AI? How does it relate to sovereignty concerns? For telcos, "less-obvious" categories of risks are helium supply, plastics & petrochemicals, GPS, drones. https://t.co/YqE9x9wr6v
SpaceX Bidding Signals New Players in Future 5G/6G Auctions
The inclusion of @SpaceX as a possible bidder in @FCC Auction 113 is an important indicator - we should expect future 5G / 6G auctions to attract new classes of participant And regulators should encourage this trend I wrote about this...
Europe May Soon Ban Foreign WiFi Routers
An #unthinkable scenario, but not impossible: What happens if UK or Europe follow the US and try to ban foreign WiFi routers? https://t.co/63TLrKcnki
Nvidia's AI Grid Is WAN‑centric, Not RAN‑focused
A few days ago I commented on a post by @sebastianbarros about @nvidia redefining #telecoms #AI. I said we’d know it was really serious about telecoms if it said as much about AI-WAN as it does about AI-RAN. The AI Grid...
Patchy Indoor Wireless Threatens Emergency Call Reliability
Emergency 911 / 112 / 999 calls are at the intersection of voice m & indoor wireless But coverage is patchy, which means a risk to life Regulators should measure it I spoke about this on a panel at @IWCEexpo with @SaferBuildings...

SpaceX Acquiring Telcos Post‑IPO Is Unlikely
Like many people, I'm trying to decode @elonmusk & @SpaceX strategy in #telecoms, #mobile & #AI. I'd started to think that post-IPO, SpaceX might start to acquire terrestrial telcos. But I've changed my mind - it would make no sense. https://t.co/TVnXInOi2U
Sovereignty Redefines Telecom Opportunities and Strategic Dimensions
What does sovereignty mean for telecoms? I've had an initial attempt to categorise the main opportunities and dimensions Read the full article and get involved in the Unthinkable Lab on April 23rd, by myself & @ADCCo and assisted by the @TelecomTV...

Clarify AI Voice Vs. Content to Avoid Telco Regulation
We need more clarity on where the boundary is between AI Voice & AI Content Otherwise new telco AI applications could face extra regulatory hurdles https://t.co/EwRpBhI4l6
Human‑neuron Bio‑computer Learns to Play Doom
Today in #postdigital technology: Australia-based @CorticalLabs’ bio-computer with 200,000 human neuron cells basically “learned” how to play Doom. https://t.co/Uq2JKzG04z
Qualcomm's Amon Offers Mixed 6G Vision, Beyond AIRAN
I just listened to the recording of @Qualcomm Cristiano R. Amon speaking about #6G at #MWC26. It was a mixed bag. Some interesting observations on #agenticAI and #physicalAI, as well as a vision of network-integrated compute that goes beyond #AIRAN. https://t.co/GLmwNBw25O
AI Breakthroughs Ignore Essential Network Connectivity
I just watched one of my favourite futurists @azeem speaking at #MWC26, on the topic of AI and “manufactured intelligence”. But I think a big problem is that very little of this AI intelligence uses any sort of access network, fixed...
Starlink’s MWC Push Aims EU 2 GHz Spectrum, yet AST
Wondering if the big @SpaceX #Starlink presence at #MWC26 is basically an attempt to persuade European policymakers to allow it access to 2GHz MSS spectrum - despite all the #sovereignty concerns in Brussels Seems that AST/VF is likely a more...

MWC26 Highlights Global Telecom Regulation Over Spectrum
Very interesting to listen into the #MWC26 session on global regulation and policy Featured @GSMAPolicy regulatory chief John Giusti with @ITU and @OECD directors Again, discussion was general telecoms (& AI), not mobile specific No banging on about more 5G / 6G...
Fibre Gains Equal Footing with 5G/6G at MWC26
I’ve been complaining for a while that the mobile industry keeps claiming that it is “telecoms” Based on this morning’s #MWC26 keynote, I’d say there’s now some humility & recognition that actually fibre is at least as central as 5G /...
TWC Highlights Fibre, Satellite Over 6G Future
I thought it was #MWC26, but actually it's TWC, #Telecom World Congress. The main session had more mentions of #fibre, #satellite and subsea cables, than it did of #6G. I think @GSMA now realises the real action is elsewhere, beyond mobile...
OpenRAN Debate Continues: Live Event and Podcast
I’m at @DigiCatapult near St Pancras for an event which (I think) is basically on the theme of “Whatever happened to OpenRAN, episode 3?” Then eading down to Blackfriars at lunchtime to record a podcast with @telecoms Scott & Iain https://t.co/DIMTtD7oO4
