At MWC Las Vegas 2024, the absence of major operators and the emphasis on enterprise solutions signaled a shift in the industry. While the hype surrounding private networks generated significant interest, the scarcity of new spectrum and the decline in Capex raised concerns about the industry’s future trajectory. As expected AI was primarily discussed in the context of spectrum sharing and efficiency, with limited practical applications in call centers and network optimization.
