5G monetization
As networks become programmable and autonomous, operators have a new opportunity, and a new dilemma. How far should CSPs go in differentiating network experience, and where does monetization risk undermining fairness, simplicity, and trust? In this session, join us as we explore how leading operators are monetizing the network while navigating the technical, commercial, and ethical trade-offs.
12:15 - 12:30
Case study: Accelerating the journey to autonomous networks: 5G monetization transformation
- Transforming legacy BSS for the 5G era: from monoliths to cloud-native architecture
- Enabling autonomous networks through real-time monetization, data and automation
- Composable IT and ecosystem readiness: Open APIs as the backbone of 5G services

Navigating the AI hype maze: Monetizing autonomous networks, edge, 6G & AI Factories - Where will growth come from?
AI is everywhere but turning it into real revenue remains the challenge. As telcos move beyond experimentation, the focus is shifting from deploying AI to monetizing it across platforms, marketplaces, and ecosystems. Unlock new growth vectors. From AI-enabled operations and autonomous networks to edge-powered services and emerging AI factory models, the opportunity is clear, but so is the complexity. In this exclusive VIP session, leaders from AT&T, HCLTech, NVIDIA, and Beyond Now come together to share and discuss how CSPs can move from AI promise to measurable business impact.
