Dean and Ben Talk Tech

DBTT Episode 2: Nokia+Nvidia, Voice+AI, IP interconnect, Regulatory Simplification, US spectrum


Listen Later

In this edition of DBTT, we cover a number of recent events and industry developments, including:

- Some thoughts on the Nvidia / Nokia partnership and investment, including the possible implications for 6G, edge compute and datacentres

- A recent report by French regulator ARCEP about Internet traffic trends and dynamics, not just on the access network but also in the transport / interconnect domain. (Link to English version). Benoit has had a chat with them about the report & also has thoughts on why other regulators should do something similar... 

- .. and then we both have some thoughts on what regulatory "simplification" might look like, especially in Europe, against the backdrop of both the (delayed) EU DNA and also the AI Act and other policy initiatives. Dean reviewed a Connect Europe on simplification. (Link

- US spectrum issues that arose during a recent visit by Dean to Washington DC, unpicking what might be the outcome of the OBBBA mandate to identify and auction 800MHz for mobile use.

- Thoughts on the combination of Voice & AI, which came out of Dean's recent UnthinkableLab workshop (link & link). In short, telcos have to work out how to infuse AI into their voice infrastructure and services, both for consumer and B2C / CPaaS applications.

There's also a YouTube video version of this podcast, which will be live later this week. (Link)
