A Mexican MVNO has chosen Totogi and system integrator Trektel to revolutionize enterprise mobility management. They're deploying Totogi's cloud-native Charging-as-a-Service to support shared resource pools across hundreds of corporate lines. The solution enables businesses to manage unlimited lines, share data/voice allowances, and reallocate resources in real-time—all implemented in 60 days with zero CapEx versus the industry's typical 12-18 month timeline with millions invested. Sounds like a dream? It isn’t. With Totogi, we do this on the regular.
Totogi is changing the telco game—again! Now, you can get a sneak peek at cool new components of BSS Magic, our AI platform that makes your entire BSS stack work as one unified system powered by a universal data translator built on open standards. Check out our videos demos of Subscriber Welcomer, BSS Connected Smart Mobility, Plan Rightsizer, Enterprise Sales Agent Flow, Inventory AI Agent, Competitive Product Design and more! We’re bringing the power of AI-driven interoperability to every corner of your BSS estate. Like what you see? Then meet with us at MWC25!
MasOrange, Telefonica, and Vodafone will demonstrate the first use case of the Open Gateway Multi-Telco Innovation Lab at MWC25. The mobile app, called ViRe, is designed by Laude to provide safety to people protected by restraining orders. It uses various APIs, including device location verification, quality-on-demand, number verification, KYC and device swap, as well as AI algorithms powered by the APIs. My first question for these guys: How do you plan to build the developer community for these APIs? This is the key strategic question...
I know what I’ll be reading on the plane to Spain: The House of Huawei: The Secret History of China’s Most Powerful Company, by Washington Post tech reporter Eva Dou. It chronicles the rise of the communications technology powerhouse from its scrappy founding in the late ‘80s in southern China to its global presence today. Kyle Chan created an interesting thread on X as he read the book. #1 question: does it cover how Huawei bribes telcos to earn their business? 🤔
AI agents are in the spotlight right now, big time. OpenAI, Microsoft, and startup Sierra are all pushing autonomous bots that can actually DO things—not just chat or analyze, but take real actions on behalf of humans. But businesses are still tiptoeing around the technology. At the Wall Street Journal's CIO Network Summit this month, only 61% of attendees said they're experimenting with AI agents, while a shocking 21% haven't touched them at all. Talk about missing the boat! Even though we're still in the early stages of AI agents, their transformative potential is clear. The companies experimenting now will build crucial expertise and capabilities. Waiting on the sidelines risks falling behind permanently. Don't let that be your telco!
Great news: Totogi’s Charging-as-a-Service has been shortlisted at the Global Mobile Awards (GLOMOs) for Best Mobile Innovation Supporting Emergency or Humanitarian Situations! We got the nod for our work restoring mobile connectivity during a crisis in record time, which we did for Zain Sudan last year. The winner will be announced during MWC25 on the Mobile World Live screens, with an awards ceremony on Wednesday, March 5. Check the agenda for the exact location and time.
Grok-3 from xAI is going deep. Still in beta and launched last week, it’s a “DeepSearch” tool that competes with the recent releases from OpenAI (ChatGPT Deep Research), DeepSeek, and the deep research features available in Google’s Gemini and Perplexity. It quickly became the most-used model across all categories on the LMArena leaderboard. The Tom’s Guide reviewer says, “It’s good, but not ‘scary good.’” Like I keep saying, AI is the wild west right now. Don’t tie yourself to one model. Keep playing the field!
RIP Humane AI Pin! Once applauded as a revolutionary wearable and successor to the smartphone, the gadgets will shortly stop working, after launching a year ago. HP will pay $116 million for what’s left of the $230 million company, and assign the founders to adding AI to printers. BRUTAL. Buyers will be left with useless Pins, no refunds on the $699 purchase price, and no support. WOMP WOMP.
Remember GauntletAI, the Trilogy University-style AI training program I’m advising on? Apparently, the talk I gave a couple weeks ago made an impression. Some students cloned my voice and speaking style onto one of the telepresence robots (remember those robots from CLOUD CITY #MWC21? Yep… same ones!), and it’s wandering around talking to other students about what they’re working on. It must be good, because people are thinking it’s really me! Finally, I have the clone of myself that I always dreamed of. Now, I can be everything, everywhere, all at once!
