AI is transforming industries, enterprises, and consumer experiences in new ways. Generative AI models are moving towards reasoning, agentic AI is enabling new outcome-oriented workflows and physical AI is enabling endpoints like cameras, robots, drones, and cars to make decisions and interact in real time.

Bottom line - it is just to way to pitch double lock-in (RAN and AI) instead of a single lock-in now for AI only.
