In this keynote presentation, ANTA Steering Board member Enrique Blanco, strategic advisor at Rakuten Symphony, discusses why the move to 6G should be treated as an opportunity rather than a repeat of the 4G-to-5G cycle, how AI can break the pattern of stacking layers of capital expenditure without matching revenue, why open radio interfaces, cloud and interoperable OSS are critical to a modular network evolution, and the role of standardisation in a multivendor future.
