This live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day one of the Green Network 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:

• What AI innovations can be applied to the network now to improve energy efficiency, which will not be outdated in a few months time?
• How do we break the ‘energy curve’? Surely the only way is by replacing old infrastructure with new, but can telcos afford to do this?
• Are AI-powered digital twins just an academic exercise or can they realistically be used to optimise physical networks today?
• In terms of AI deployments in the telecom network, what would the panellists like to see happen this year?
• Do neutral host networks represent the best pathway for sustainable delivery of 5G standalone, especially with regards to energy and emission?
• Should green and energy-related matters be mandated through government policy?
