[Key Lecture Content] This lecture will discuss how the telecommunications industry is being transformed by AI. Telecom carriers, once dominant with i-mode, lost their leadership in the smartphone era and are now facing challenges such as shrinking domestic markets and the commoditization of communication. Furthermore, differentiation is becoming more difficult through communication quality, standards, or the devices handled. Recently, a "port-in war" focused on immediate price competition has become rampant. From the perspective of management consultants, we will unravel how the business of telecom carriers facing such challenges will change with AI, and how they should evolve for survival.
