The digital divide was once defined by one question: who could get online, and who could not. But as AI becomes embedded in education, employment, public services and everyday life, a new divide is emerging.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for compute, power and data-centre capacity, the cloud is being forced back down to earth. For telecom operators, the question is who controls the physical infrastructure powering the next phase of the digital economy?

The rise of the “agentic enterprise” promises automation at scale. But while AI thrives on probabilities, telecom revenue management demands certainty of outcome. Dominic Smith examines why charging and billing cannot be probabilistic – and why architectural discipline matters more than ever.

With new models emerging every few months, betting on a single AI provider is increasingly risky. Cerillion Product Director, Brian Coombs, explains why composable AI architectures matter and how our AI Management Centre enables future-proof, secure and flexible GenAI adoption.
