What happens when AI stops being theoretical and starts changing the physical world?&nbsp;Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Daniel Lawson, SVP, Global Solutions of Verizon Business and co-host, Ganesh Balasubramanian, VP, CBE at Amdocs, for a conversation about the moment enterprise technology seems to be entering now: where AI, 5G, edge computing, and connected devices are no longer separate conversations, but part of the same operational reality. From robotics on the show floor to real-world deployments in healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics, they explore what it means when long-promised technologies finally begin to converge at scale.&nbsp; The discussion looks closely at the platform challenge behind that shift. As Daniel explains, enterprise AI is not just about better models, but about building the orchestration, resilience, security, and connectivity needed to turn intelligence into action in the real world. Together, they unpack why the network is becoming a strategic layer again, and why platform simplification, stronger ecosystems, and partner-led innovation will be critical to delivering the next generation of enterprise use cases.

Physical AI Is Here: The Network’s Role in What Comes Next

In Episode 3 of The Great Indoors, Adaptive Spirit Special Edition, we explore the powerful role of family, community, and purpose behind the Paralympic journey. Recorded live at Adaptive Spirit, this episode shines a light on the unseen support systems that make elite performance possible from the sacrifices of parents and the pride of shared victories, to the deep sense of belonging that brings people back to this community year after year. Beyond the mountain, we hear how Adaptive Spirit is driving real impact from advancing accessibility in technology and business to reshaping how Paralympic stories are told, with athletes leading the narrative on their own terms. This is a conversation about more than sport, it’s about legacy, representation, and the collective spirit that turns individual achievement into something much bigger.&nbsp;Guests in order of appearance: Alex D’Addi, Ravi Drugan, Michael O'Hearn, Audrey Crowley, Patrick Halgren, Nomi Bergman, Lyann Humphreys, Bart Garton, Steve Raymond, Rich DiGeronimo, Brenna Huckaby, Dani Aravich, Andrew Kurka

The Spirit That Stays With You

Launching an MVNO may sound straightforward. In practice, it is anything but. Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Andy Hopkins, CTO of MVNX Link, and Amdocs’ Mark Prudhoe for a conversation about what it really takes to bring new mobile providers to market. Together, they unpack the hidden complexity behind customer onboarding, billing, upgrades, top-ups, and service transitions, and why improving the customer journey remains one of the most important, and underestimated, challenges in the MVNO space. The discussion explores how the partnership between MVNX Link and Amdocs is designed to simplify that complexity: combining a SaaS-based platform, a practical customization layer, and a faster path to launch for MVNOs and MVNEs looking to get to market with less cost and less friction.

The Power of an Adaptive Mindset

AI is no longer the question for telecom. Execution is.&nbsp;Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Ross McWalter, Head of Business Development from AWS and Amdocs’ Jesse-Lee Fry, VP of Generative AI &amp; Data Growth, for a conversation about why so many AI ambitions still stall before they scale. Together, they explore the gap between proof of concept and production, and why fragmented systems, siloed data, integration complexity, and skills shortages continue to hold telcos back.&nbsp;The discussion looks at what it really takes to move beyond experimentation: unified data foundations, telco-trained agents, enterprise-grade observability, and a more coordinated operating model for AI across the business. From the contact center to the wider value chain, Ross and Jesse outline a shared vision for turning AI into something operational, measurable, and commercially meaningful.
