Week of January 29–February 3, 2024Telecom Intelligence: Week of January 29, 2024

Two days later the same company's stock had the best single day in market history, adding $196 billion after Meta declared its first dividend and rode AI-fueled ad growth. And Apple put the Vision Pro on sale — a $3,499 bet that 'spatial computing' is the next platform, launched into a market still deciding whether the current platform war is about AI instead.
