Intelligence is getting cheap. Trust is not.
AI is moving into every business conversation. Somebody has to carry the trust. CPaaSAA is where telcos, platforms and AI companies build it, together.
The communications stack is being rebuilt around AI.
Networks are splitting from services
Operators are separating the infrastructure they own from the customers they keep. What remains is a services business, and it looks a lot like cloud communications.
Voice is back, and it is AI
The models are ready. Product, consent, business models and distribution are not. Nobody has settled who runs the conversation.
Trust is the scarce asset
Anyone can generate a voice. Knowing who is on the line, and whether consent exists, is something only the network can tell.
The argument in full: Somebody Has to Build the Bar.
