AN Leadership Forum - Monetizing autonomous connectivity

October 7, 2026
14:00-15:30
Spotlight Stage
Autonomous Networks
From connectivity to intelligent services
This session explores how CSPs are moving beyond connectivity, using AI-native, programmable networks to deliver differentiated enterprise services built on APIs, intelligent assurance, and real-time performance. 
  • Moving from connectivity to service-based revenue models 
  • Building network-as-a-platform for enterprise services 
  • Designing AI-native services, not just networks 
  • Using APIs to expose network capabilities 
  • Delivering dynamic, service-aware assurance 
Monetizing intelligent connectivity
As networks become more programmable and autonomous, operators are creating new opportunities to monetize connectivity through differentiated services, real-time performance guarantees, and network APIs. In this session, a CSP and technology partner share how they are translating network intelligence into measurable business value. 
  • Creating premium services beyond traditional connectivity  
  • Using automation and AI to deliver differentiated customer experiences  
  • Exposing network capabilities through APIs and programmable services  
  • Turning service assurance and performance visibility into commercial value 
What enterprises really want from autonomous connectivity 
Enterprise customers are increasingly demanding intelligent, resilient, and service-aware connectivity capable of supporting AI workloads, mission-critical applications, and autonomous business operations. 
  • What enterprises expect from AI-ready connectivity 
  • Why SLA guarantees and performance predictability matter most 
  • How autonomous networks support mission-critical applications 
  • Where edge performance becomes a differentiator 
  • What ‘resilient connectivity’ actually means in practice 
Panel: Where is the real revenue in autonomous networks? 
As operators invest heavily in AI-native infrastructure and autonomous operations, the industry is increasingly focused on monetization opportunities through programmable connectivity, network APIs, slicing and differentiated enterprise services. 
  • What will customers pay a premium for? Packing and pricing AI-native network services 
  • How can APIs and slicing translate into revenue? 
  • Partnering to monetize the autonomous network: What does it take to scale B2B services successfully? 
  • How can be best prove the ROI from autonomous networks?
