Ahead of next month, Ulf Ewaldsson, President, Technology at T-Mobile USA, spoke with our CEO Nik Willetts about how T-Mobile's fearless, customer-centric culture translates into their technology approach, and forms the bedrock for their remarkable success.

With T-Mobile becoming the latest CSP to sign TM Forum’s Autonomous Networks manifesto, a focus for the discussion was how tying AN and AI together enables T-Mobile to address customer needs much more precisely. Ulf also explains how work being done on intent-based networking with TM Forum is moving beyond treating customers as a mass to providing genuinely personal experiences.
