During this AI-Native Telco Forum panel discussion, speakers from Mavenir, China Telecom and Core Analysis explored how operators can move beyond internal efficiency and cost reduction to develop AI-native products and services that generate new revenue. They debated whether GPU-as-a-service and AI datacentre models are simply infrastructure businesses, and what it will take for services to be considered genuinely AI native, including programmable connectivity delivered as a service.

The discussion also explored China Telecom’s diversified portfolio of industry models and agents, whether platforms or customers should come first, the case for and against selling tokens, and the cultural gap between technical and commercial teams that can hold back new digital products.

Featuring:

• Dejan Leskaroski, EVP, Chief Revenue Officer, Mavenir
• Patrick Lopez, Founder & CEO, {Core Analysis}
• Yue Wang, Chief Technologist Next-Gen ICT, China Telecom
