In telecom, profitability depends on tightly managing costs while complying with FCC regulations. One hidden drain on revenue comes from relying on safe harbor allocations when reporting traffic for the Universal Service Fund (USF) and related programs.
With their vast network of real estate, extensive fiber connections, and established power infrastructure, telecommunications companies (telcos) are uniquely positioned to repurpose their underutilized central offices (COs) into hubs for artificial intelligence (AI). This strategic move can create new revenue streams, optimize network performance, and position telcos as key players in the growing AI economy.

5G networks are of great interest because of the speeds that the technology will make available and the security those networks offer. The new speed capabilities gives the Internet of Things (IOT) a real push forward and in an age of increased hacking, 5G will be a welcomed technology.
