Monetizing the AI connectivity opportunity

AI is front and center of the business strategies of all communications service providers (CSPs), but the big question they now face is how can they grow and monetize their AI activities and technologies? Monetizing the AI connectivity opportunity will require them to do a better job of communicating where they sit in the value chain.

To reap rewards in the AI connectivity market, CSPs will need to follow the example of hyperscalers and be strong on user experience and metering. And as AI workloads grow, they have an opportunity to use their connectivity experience and assets to provide services for real-time applications that require security, ultra-low latency and high bandwidth.

In this report we outline the different AI workloads emerging and explain how they present opportunities for operators.
