    Ep 114 - What’s Up with Totogi: The Ontology of BSS Magic
    Apr 29 2025
    In today's telco landscape, operators are struggling with legacy BSS systems that are highly customized, expensive, and impossible to change. Rather than continuing the traditional approach of swapping out systems (ouch) or simply adding AI to siloed applications, a more revolutionary solution is emerging—one that creates a digital twin of your entire telco business and applies AI across all systems simultaneously.For this episode, I talk with Mark Breslow, Field CTO at Totogi. We're exploring how Totogi’s BSS Magic is helping telcos leverage AI without replacing their existing systems while delivering dramatic results in weeks, instead of months. Listen now to hear:How BSS Magic functions as a telco-specific ontological layer, not a replacement BSS system [04:12];Why siloed AI approaches fail when trying to solve problems that span multiple systems [05:00];How an Asian telco dramatically reduced their enterprise sales process time with BSS Magic [09:07];How the BSS Magic transforms notoriously difficult BSS migrations from a multi-year project to just a few months [12:40].Links and Resources:Watch my Gen AI Summit talk at MWC25 on Building an AI-first TelcoRead my blogs, The AI-first telco won't wait 5 years for Amdocs and How to suss out the fake agents at MWC25Learn more about BSS Magic on the Totogi website to say goodbye to rigid, vendor-locked BSS applicationsCheck out these BSS Magic Demos on Totogi’s YouTube channel:Inventory AI AgentEnterprise Sales Agent FlowCompetitive Product Design… and many more!

    Ep 113 - AI's Power Problem
    Apr 15 2025
    The energy demands of artificial intelligence are skyrocketing. AI workloads are doubling every few months, pushing data centers' energy consumption beyond the capabilities of our aging grid infrastructure. As these facilities approach gigawatt-level power needs—equivalent to powering entire cities—the energy question has become the critical bottleneck for AI's future growth.In this episode, I'm talking with Roy Illsley, Chief Analyst at Omdia who specializes in cloud and data center technologies. We explore how the world’s biggest data center owners—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—are responding to these challenges, from renewable energy investments to nuclear power, and what it means for the industry. Listen now to hear:Why hyperscalers are looking to nuclear energy solutions to meet their massive power requirements [03:23];How Europe's data sovereignty requirements are complicating AI development in power-constrained countries [05:40];What opportunity telcos have with AI inferencing at the edge, and why they risk repeating past mistakes [09:20];The crucial software capability gap that could determine who wins in the edge AI market [12:14].Links and Resources:Read Omdia’s latest reports on cloud and data centers technologies.Watch NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at GTC on their future rack power requirements.Check out this press release on Oracle’s $5 billion UK investment in cloud infrastructure.Learn more about Verizon’s AI edge computing initiatives.

    Ep 111 - Building an AI-first telco
    Mar 18 2025
    A few weeks ago I gave my FIFTH Mobile World Congress talk at the GSMA’s Gen AI Summit. More than 2,000 people RSVP’d for the event, and the room was packed with telco industry leaders eager to learn more about building an AI-first telco. But the big problem they have to overcome is their mountain of tech debt from their legacy BSS systems. In my talk, I explained how AI can help operators leverage their existing BSS estate and use it to drive toward an AI-first future. I’ve turned my talk into this podcast. Listen now to learn:The transformation that happens when intelligence moves above all your systems [04:19];How BSS Magic launches new products and offerings in minutes instead of months [04.55];Why having enterprise-wide intelligence, purpose-built for telecom, accelerates transformation [07:34]; andHow AI can breathe new life into legacy systems and turn technical debt into a strategic advantage [08:33].Links and ResourcesIf you missed my live talk, check out the video version on our YouTube channel.Learn more about BSS Magic and book a demo!

    Mar 4 2025
    The Big Three hyperscalers each hit an all-time high in CapEx spending in 2024, collectively investing almost $200 billion. For this episode, I speak with Charles Fitzgerald, managing director at Platformonomics, whose annual "Follow the CAPEX" report tracks the cloud providers’ spending. He pulls back the curtain on what’s driving investments, how AI and nuclear power are coming into play, and whether telcos have what it takes to sell AI workload capacity at the edge. Listen now to hear:What happened with hyperscaler CapEx spending in 2024 [02:49];Insights into the Stargate project, which aims to boost AI infrastructure and know-how in the United States [7:17];How the cloud providers are addressing AI’s energy needs, and the role nuclear power is poised to play [11:06]; andWhy telcos may want to think twice before betting on selling AI workload capacity at the edge [14:25].Links and ResourcesRead Charles Fitzgerald's 2024 retrospective on public cloud CAPEX spending and check out his Cloud Reactor Tracker.Take a look at Charles' 2022 paper calling on big tech companies to champion nuclear energy.Learn more about the hyperscalers’ nuclear energy plans.REad about telcos’ aspirations to make money by selling AI infrastructure at the edge:Verizon execs hint at making money from AI infrastructureAT&T and Verizon are pivoting into the landlord biz for AIThis is Charles’ third time as a guest on Telco in 20.

    Feb 4 2025
    TelecomTV’s DSP Leaders Council is a hand-picked group of ~100 industry experts (including moi) that weighs in regularly on the state of the telco industry. A recent survey of Council members on the topic of Digital Support Systems (DSS) revealed that operators are grappling with mixed feelings about AI, with some dragging their feet on AI adoption, and others racing toward an AI-driven future. Today, I’m talking about the survey findings with TelecomTV Editorial Director Ray LeMaitre. We dig into where telcos are making progress, what’s holding them back, and what needs to happen to spark industry-wide AI transformation. And you know with Ray—it’s not a conversation unless we talk about COFFEE! Listen now to hear:The good news about operators and startup BSS solutions [4:40];Why the habit of waiting to be "ready" for change might leave slow-moving telcos on the sidelines [8:20];The shocking percentage of telcos that don’t see AI as essential to their future [10:24]; andPlans for the DSP Leaders Council and survey topics going forward [13:49].Links and ResourcesLearn more about TelecomTV’s DSP Leaders Council and its DSP Leaders Reports.Read my blog about the DSS report findings, 3 key takeaways from TelecomTV’s DSS report—one will surprise you.When Ray and I first met, I compared myself to Daenerys Targaryen from the blockbuster TV series Game of Thrones, because let’s face it, sometimes you need to walk through fire to get stuff done in telco. Check out this scene when Daenerys becomes the mother of dragons (warning: explicit scenes, but it’s epic so I’m putting in the show notes anyway!).If you’re like Ray and love dark-roasted, Latin American coffee, check out this video about the best way to brew it.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel.You can find the episode transcript here.Wanna talk AI and public cloud?
