Lessons from PTC, for MWC – talking telcos in the AI goldrush
Ahead of MWC, it is useful to look back at the PTC conference in Hawaii, which has shifted from a regional telecom meetup into a broader global forum for AI infrastructure. Telecom operators, vendors and infrastructure players there focused less on hype and more on what AI actually means for networks, data centers and business models.
PTC’s evolution shows how quickly AI now sits at the center of telecom strategy, from how to build and run infrastructure to where operators fit in the wider digital stack. As the industry heads into MWC, the questions raised at PTC about telcos’ role, investment priorities and realistic returns from the AI boom will likely follow everyone onto the show floor.
