  Is the telecom sector about to trigger a massive investment supercycle? Nokia ($NOK) just dropped a bombshell by launching the industry’s first AI-native RAN platform, but this isn't just another isolated corporate press release. Yesterday's Q2 2026 earnings from Ericsson ($ERIC) and rapid shifts from major network operators confirm that the global telecom infrastructure Capex is undergoing a historic transformation. The smart money is quietly connecting some highly lucrative, asymmetric dots. 👇 1. What is AI-RAN & Why Does It Matter? Traditional Radio Access Networks (RAN) rely on incredibly expensive, rigid, proprietary hardware. AI-RAN virtualizes this entire architecture into software. Cell towers essentially become agile, edge-computing micro-datacenters. The hardware doesn't just route your calls; it processes AI workloads on the fly. The mastermind behind this is NVIDIA ($NVDA) and the AI-RAN Alliance (which unites NVIDIA, Nokia, Ericsson, SoftBank, and T-Mobile). Their goal? Push GPU-accelerated computing into every base station. Nokia claims this software-led, accelerated shift will boost spectral efficiency by 20% immediately, with a roadmap to >100% by 2028. For debt-laden operators, this means doubling network capacity without buying more multi-billion-dollar spectrum or replacing physical towers. 2. From Slides to Capex: What Ericsson's Q2 Earnings Just Confirmed We are officially moving past the "proof of concept" phase. Just yesterday, during Ericsson’s Q2 earnings call, outgoing CEO Börje Ekholm explicitly stated: "The next phase of AI is going to benefit our industry quite substantially... especially as physical AI develops." To fund this massive transition and offset inflationary hardware parts, Ericsson is actively raising prices on legacy contracts, paving the way for AI-RAN standard deployments. Global tier-1 carriers are already jumping in: > SK Telecom $SKM (South Korea) is launching a massive national AI-RAN pilot to test real-world physical AI applications (like automated factory robots and drone sensing). > T-Mobile US has partnered with NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia to launch a Joint AI-RAN Innovation Center to standardize this tech in the US. > Telus (Canada) is deploying AI-powered network controllers to optimize spectral efficiency and slash tower power consumption. 3. The Derivative Play: AmpliTech ($AMPG) Nokia, Ericsson, and NVIDIA are massive, slow-moving ships. To find true market asymmetry, smart money looks for niche, highly-certified hardware enablers. To run software-heavy, GPU-driven AI-RAN, you still need highly advanced, open-standard (O-RAN) hardware on the ground to handle the high-frequency radio waves. Enter AmpliTech Group ($AMPG), a US-designed micro-cap manufacturing high-performance 64T64R Massive MIMO radios. In his latest discussions with Maxim Group (following up on my yesterday's post), the CEO highlighted a major strategic pivot that flipped the script for shareholders: > ATM Canceled: Completely terminating their dilutive at-the-market equity sales facility. > $10M Buyback: Launching a massive $10M stock repurchase program funded entirely by cash on hand, signaling to Wall Street that management believes the stock is heavily undervalued. > Strong Fundamentals: This move is backed by stellar Q1 results - revenue surged 48.6% YoY to $5.35M, while gross margins skyrocketed to 48% (up from 33% last year). As one of the very few US-designed, O-RAN certified hardware providers with a clean balance sheet, they are uniquely positioned to capture domestic infrastructure contracts as US telcos upgrade to GPU-accelerated AI-RAN architecture. Summary When giants like NVIDIA, Nokia, Ericsson, SK Telecom, and Telus validate a trend, the hardware supply chain wins first. AI-RAN is setting up to be one of the most under-the-radar infrastructure plays of late 2026. Are you sticking to legacy giants, or hunting for asymmetric risk-reward in the micro-cap space?

  @TELUS What did your technicians do in New Westminster? I have no Internet or phone after they left my neighbor next door. I depend on your services for work. Urgently asking for service to be back up and running

  Yes. I watched a client, who became a friend and then helped us start our business in 2003, get decimated by TELUS when they started cutting off the residuals to privately owned stores. They finally just gave up because the "new" make the sale structure with no residuals was insane. I'm sorry to say it, but I _KNEW_ that's where the BPOS then O365 then M365 then Azure residual/remuneration structures would go. All of those big signing bonuses in the beginning are gone now. Large hosting houses were decimated selling M365 a shell of their former selves good people out the door. Why? The answer is obvious, and known by us, but for over libations. ;-) This particular Cloud First IT Company is doing what any company like it needs to do to survive: SELL SELL SELL! Most Cloud First customers, not clients, have no interest in the managed support fees. They'll happily open a ticket and strangle the neck of the Cloud First IT Company when M365, AWS, G00g Cloud, or other goes offline. What an ugly position to be in. :-( Thanks, but no thanks.

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport is asking for a driver's license and pin that were set up in the 90's before they'll cancel service and say there's no way around it, wtaf? All this for a client moved overseas and not able to use the service! They'll take money for no service!

  TELUS Digital ran 90,000 simulations training contact center agents with ElevenLabs voice AI. Result: 20% faster onboarding. Early signs of lower turnover. Then they deployed an ElevenAgents voice agent to proactively call newly activated internet customers in their first 90 days. Outcome: customers who got the proactive call were less than half as likely to cancel within 30 days. Let me translate that into a number most contact center leaders will recognize. If you're running a telco with 100,000 new activations per quarter and a 15% 30-day churn rate — that's 15,000 customers churning before they even form a habit. Cut that rate in half with a proactive voice AI call and you're retaining 7,500 additional customers per quarter. At $50/month average revenue per customer over a 24-month average lifecycle, that's $9M in preserved revenue per quarter from a single proactive AI workflow. This is the number that shifts the conversation from "AI pilot" to "AI mandate." Three things are worth noting about the TELUS/ElevenLabs model: **1. They kept humans in the loop for complexity.** ElevenAgents handle high-volume routine calls and route complex or sensitive issues to human agents — who receive better-qualified interactions. The human workload improves in quality, not just quantity. **2. The agent training use case is often bigger than the customer-facing use case.** 90,000 simulations means new hires have practiced situations they might not encounter in their first 6 months of calls. That preparation is invisible on a dashboard but shows up in first-call resolution and escalation rates. **3. TELUS Digital is now a preferred implementation partner, not just a customer.** That's a distribution signal. Enterprise contact center operators trust vendors who can show they've operationalized the technology themselves. At Ender Turing we track enterprise CX deployments closely. The pattern from the last 12 months is clear: the organizations getting results aren't running bigger pilots. They're moving production workloads incrementally — starting with high-volume, low-variance use cases like proactive onboarding calls — and building from that baseline. 90,000 training simulations. 50% churn reduction. These aren't beta numbers. They're the new competitive baseline. If your team is still in the "exploring voice AI" phase, that baseline just moved.

  I just walked into a Telus shop looking for a prepaid SIM card for my stay in Quebec. 35$ for 50 Gig... Good deal I thought... + 20 for the SIM card...mmm ok. + 35 if they put in for me (in case there are configuration problems) We're up to 90$. WTF Corporate greed I say. Bye 👋

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS most ATROCIOUS customer service…your agents constantly have to “consult” because previous agent didn’t make notes about why I’m calling. been on hold for 59+minutes & counting. All because u STOLE $800+ from my dead father’s account. Just want the $ back!

  The Canadian government really needs to start regulating cellular network providers cause tell me why ******** Bell and Telus are allowed to advertise 5G+ services in my area when their towers are outdated and only offer up to LTE+, and often regular LTE and 4G

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS so I call for assistance to fix my freezing cable and you tell me I have to switch to your fiber network. Get lost! If you think you can force me into a service I don’t want then you have lost the following: Cable internet 5 cell phones Home security @Rogers
