Telecom Intelligence: Week of March 3, 2025 Barcelona set the industry's agenda, and the agenda was AI. Mobile World Congress 2025 drew more than 109,000 attendees to a show dominated by one question: how operators turn artificial intelligence from a cost line into a revenue line, with AI-powered networks, agentic devices, and telco AI alliances crowding every keynote. Beneath the AI noise, the show's quieter throughlines mattered more for the balance sheet: direct-to-device satellite moved from demo to product across multiple booths, and network API monetization inched toward commercial reality. Back home, Washington's wireless docket kept churning through spectrum, robocall, and undersea cable proceedings, a reminder that while Barcelona talks about the future, the FCC allocates it.
