The live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day one of the Next-Gen Digital Infra summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels was joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• Is the emerging importance of digital sovereignty proving to be the leading use case for telco edge AI?
• Which new technologies look most promising for keeping energy and cooling costs under control at high-density telco sites?
• Given current GPU concentration, how are operators mitigating single-vendor risk and protecting capital expenditure?
• Why the recent interest in timing-optimised LLMs and what does this mean in terms of infrastructure?
• How do you reconcile multivendor ecosystems with the traditional needs of telcos?
• Is there a business case for offering RAN-as-a-service?
