I just want to talk to you for a moment before we get into today's coverage of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Remember, True News, this is the only place where you're getting this kind of extended coverage of what the technocrats talked about last week in Barcelona, Spain.

They're mapping out their new world order, and we want you to see and hear for yourselves pay attention to these seminars because it's like you sitting there like you flew to Barcelona and had entrance into the conference and were able to sit there in one of the front rows and hear these speakers describe what they plan to do the first time I went to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, the first day, the first hour, they were talking about the global brain. The global brain that would be built by the year 2030. I knew. Man, I thought I went to a conference to learn about technology, about streaming video. Here, the Lord sent me there to learn about the construction of the global brain. And I haven't been the same ever since. I've been

paying attention to what the technocrats are doing. That's why we're giving you this coverage this week. So I hope you pay close attention, listen carefully to what the speakers are saying in each of these sessions that we are showing you this week. I want to encourage you to get a copy of Final Day. It's my book about the last day of mankind. The last day of mankind as we have known it since the beginning of time. It's going to come to an end. And then the day after the last day is the first day of eternity. And life begins for those whose names were written in the Lamb's book of life. But what goes down on the last day of eternity and life begins for those whose names were written in the lamb's book of life but what goes down on the last day i wrote 10 chapters i tried to capture it i took the scriptures that talk about the day of the lord the lord's second coming and i created 10 chapters

around um events that would be happening just how noisy will it Just how noisy will it be? How disruptive will it be? How visible? Do you know, have you ever thought about how every human will see Jesus come back? How is that possible? Every human on the planet

will see the return of Jesus Christ. And did you know that it includes everybody who's dead? They will see the return of Jesus Christ. And did you know that it includes everybody who's dead? They will see Jesus too. I explained it all in the book. This book has so many fascinating revelations in it. Some of the things I talk about, I call it the amazing word switcheroo. It's how John Nelson Darby and Cyrus scofield and dwight moody how do they how do they change the meaning of words and introduce this rapture which isn't in the bible where do they come from how do they create this word and uh so i describe it i call it the great

word switcheroo uh i i present evidence that Jesus Christ will return once, not twice. I talk about the three snares that Jesus said we must avoid. Three snares that are connected to the second coming. These are snares that will trip you up. And there are addictions. I'm giving you a clue. They are addictions. Three snares that will trip you up on the day he returns. It's all in the book. I encourage you to get a copy. Go to truenews.com. Click the banner. The book is $19.95 plus shipping. If you're sending a check, I'm asking you to send extra to cover the cost of the book. We have to pay it. The post office will not let us ship it free.

Randy, your book will be right behind Abigail's book. All right. Taking it to the post office as soon as I get out of the studio. There you go, Randy. That's yours, too. Thank you so much. I've been reading from various chapters. Let me pick something here today. I'll do this one from

chapter, let's see. This is His Second Coming Shall Be Sudden and Une and unexpected. And the subtitle of this chapter is Lollygagging Lot Almost Lost It. Whereas Jesus said his second coming would be as the days of Noah, he also compared it to the days of Lot. Sodom and Gomorrah had sunk into shameless debauchery. Their sins were so grotesque that there was no way to save the inhabitants. They crossed the line and became reprobates. Lot was an essential leader in Sodom.

He sat at the gate, meaning he was a city elder, perhaps a city councilman. How did Abraham's nephew end up living in sinful, decadent Sodom? he chose to live there. When Uncle Abram gave Lot the first choice in deciding where he would live, Lot chose to dwell in the cities of the plain. The flickering lights and the distant sounds of laughter emanating from those cities were like magnets drawing Lot their way. It was akin to a traveler walking through the Nevada desert at night and seeing the lights of Las Vegas glowing in the darkness. Lot pitched his tent towards Sodom. There was something in Lot's soul that was attracted to Sodom and yearned to live there. Yet, Apostle Peter said, Lot was a righteous man who was greatly distressed by the lawless licentiousness of Sodom's citizens.

According to St. Peter, Sodom's immorality and lawlessness tormented Lot. God chose to destroy all the inhabitants except Lot and his family. He sent two angels to notify Lot that Sodom and Gomorrah were on the short list to be raised and permanently reduced to ashes. Lot's proximity to Sodom's sins had dulled his spiritual senses. He was in danger, but he didn't perceive it. Even when the angels told him face to face that God would soon destroy the cities, Lot didn't respond with an alarming sense of urgency. Instead, he took his time

getting ready for the destruction the angels said was coming. He deceived himself into thinking he had more time. The normalcy bias prevented Lot from promptly acting on the angels' warning. Even though God sent notification to Lot that sudden destruction would soon strike his hometown, Lot chose to rationalize what the angels meant. The Bible doesn't tell us how long or why Lot delayed his flight from Sodom, but we can only imagine what he did after receiving an angelic notification of the city's death sentence. Perhaps he went to his garage and casually sorted through the tools he wanted to take along. Whatever he did, it was stupid.

Fire from heaven was on its way, but the warning had lighted no fire underneath Lot's feet to get out of town. His lack of urgency required another angelic visit. On the second visit, the angels physically escorted Lot and his wife and daughters out of Sodom in the nick of time. Lot's two sons-in-laws, however, were seared in Sodom. They mocked Lot's talk about angels warning him to flee the city. Likewise, his wife's body left Sodom, but her heart remained there. Consequently, she was solidified into a pillar of salt when she longingly looked back at that wicked city. Jesus mentioned the days of Lot in his teachings about the final day. He compared it to the days of Noah. In Lot's era, they ate, drank, bought, and sold, planted,

and built structures. Jesus said, fire and brimstone rained upon Sodom. On the same day, Lot departed the wicked city. The Lord said it would happen the same way on the final day. I want you to get a copy of this book. It's going to change the way you think about the second coming. It will be a refreshing paradigm shift in your mind.

Now, let's get into today's session from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. សូវាប់បានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបា Today, we're looking at the world in a new light. And with our different perspectives, we can accelerate opportunities to create value that lasts. How will you take advantage of the connections you make this week? How will you see connectivity unleashed? As the boundaries blur between online and real life, we continue to rely on digital innovation and connectivity to transform our world.

From the metaverse and NFTs to connected devices and IoT, this year's MWC themes will spark bold new ideas to create a positive future. As an industry, we pave the way for transformation and find new ways to help other industries innovate. And now, together, we continue our exciting 5G journey, delivering on our industry's commitments to tackle the mobile internet usage gap and reducing our industry's carbon footprint, creating a better future for all. Because together, we will unlock the full power of connectivity so that people, industry and society thrive. This week, in our iconic host city of Barcelona, we will put our convictions to work for our businesses, for our next generation of leaders, and for the world. Are you ready?

It's time. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Stephanie Lynch-Habib, CMO of GSMA. Thank you. Good morning and welcome to day two of MWC. It's my great pleasure to guide you through this morning's keynote, which is all about delivering a new world. Mobile connectivity has changed the way we live, connect and do business around the world. Today, there are over 5.3 billion unique mobile subscribers and 4.2 billion people using the mobile internet. With over 1 billion 5G connections

expected globally by the end of this year, we're now entering the 5G era. And by 2025, we expect 5G to account for a quarter of total mobile connections across the world. As more and more people are connected and more industries become interconnected through mobile, we're moving from an era of simple connectivity to an era of meaningful connectivity. Unleashing the true power of connectivity to build a better future for all. So the question is, how do we build that better future? How do we deliver a new world? No one can do this on their own.

5G in the mobile industry is the global connectivity foundation now and into the future. But we'll only realize this better future through partnerships. This morning, we're fortunate to have all of the building blocks in our industry and complementary industries that demonstrate the partnership needed to make the future possible. From infrastructure to network and devices through to cloud, content distribution and entertainment. this morning's leaders are wonderful examples of how partnership around the mobile ecosystem will create the world of tomorrow from a business, industry, and societal standpoint. So let's get started. Adam Salipsky is the CEO of Amazon Web Services, the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud offering. Having previously led AWS marketing, sales, and support for 11 years,

Adam helped launch and grow AWS from a startup to the multi-billion dollar business that it is today. Please join me in welcoming Adam to the stage. Thank you so much, Stephanie. And hello, everyone. It's so great to be here with you in person. It's really, really a great opportunity. I really appreciate it, and I look forward to connecting with many of you over the course of the week. Before I start today, I do want to express my own concern and compassion for all the people impacted by the war in the Ukraine. I'm a grandchild of those who fled war in Europe, and I hope that there is a peaceful resolution quickly to this aggression. So today, AWS is the largest cloud provider in the world with the broadest and the deepest cloud platform.

And by far the biggest number of deep and meaningful customer deployments across every country, every industry, and every use case. But 16 years ago, when AWS introduced the concept of cloud, it was entirely new. People didn't really know if it was just for developers or if enterprises would use it too. Was the cloud only appropriate for testing, development, and web apps, or could it really support people's most critical applications? Developers were certainly a big portion of the early adopters, but it didn't take long for some forward-thinking enterprises to join the movement. Companies like Capital One, Airbnb, Philips, Intuit, and organizations like the UK Ministry of Justice

really leaned in and started doing big things in the cloud. As a result, these types of organizations got far ahead of everyone else and they discovered that there were big returns for getting in early, like dramatic cost savings, innovation at a whole new scale, and new customer experiences that simply weren't possible before. They learned what worked best for their customers and they used the cloud to drive agility and get products to market faster. So very quickly, the question for enterprises They learned what worked best for their customers, and they used the cloud to drive agility and get products to market faster.

So very quickly, the question for enterprises changed from, should we move to the cloud, to how fast can we get there? And that sentiment is even stronger today. In fact, just a few weeks ago, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said that he would spend billions of dollars additional, billions extra, to get to the cloud faster. And that is a powerful statement. And we're now seeing that same pattern unfold with mobile and the cloud.

And we've already seen some exciting successes. And yet there are so many more workloads that are going to move in the coming years. So much more innovation yet to come. We're driving towards a seamless integration of data, analytics and machine learning that is going to be transformative. Telecom pioneers are modernizing their networks and systems with the cloud using solutions from AWS. And today I'll share some examples of how innovators in the telecom industry are making what was once a vision of the future into today's reality. For many telecom operators, it started with transforming their IT infrastructure and operations, all the back end functions that handle the services, equipment, billing, finance and contracts.

Migrating IT infrastructure to the cloud not only removes a lot of the heavy lifting of managing infrastructure like servers, it also increases automation and cuts costs across all of these business processes. So these companies are working closely with AWS to accelerate their cloud journey through data center consolidation and the rapid migration of workloads. Deutsche Telekom is a great example. In 2019, they set a goal to move nearly 60% of their applications to the cloud, with AWS as their preferred provider for IT transformation, so that they could develop more on-demand services.

And they're seeing incredible benefits. Today, they can get most of their IT projects to market in just 2.5 months, where it used to take 18 months. Amazing transformation. We're really creating incredible momentum together. Vodacom in Africa is another great example. They're migrating the majority of their 1,400 IT applications

to the cloud to increase agility, drive innovation, and create new customer experiences. And since they started the migration, they've been able to rapidly innovate on new applications like the Vodapay digital wallet. Users can access discounts, send money, order food, even pay bills from the convenience of a mobile device. And that app has been downloaded 1.4 million times, and it only debuted in October.

These are just two examples. There are many, many others of those who are moving faster, driving more agile decisions, and transforming their IT operations. They're seeing transformation along every step of their cloud adoption journey. Another critical step in this journey is data. The cloud revolution in the telecom industry is being shaped by astonishing levels of data growth. I'm sure I don't have to tell this audience that. New 5G apps and services like videos and gaming, digital banking, fraud detection, and mobile healthcare services are generating massive amounts of data. In fact, studies predict that 5G networks will carry 62% of total mobile data traffic in just five years, by 2027. Service providers are at the center of this data explosion, which creates both a challenge and an opportunity when working to manage, secure, and process it all.

And we're partnering with telecom operators to unlock the potential of data with specific solutions that will help manage customer call centers, identify and decrease fraud, and spot trends and opportunities to improve quality of service. Telia in the Nordics is working to ensure that data is a strategic asset, with AI and analytics at the center. They're using the cloud to encrypt, store and analyze customer information, search indices, subscription data and device data, and to efficiently work across their operations and develop more tailored customer experiences. In the Stockholm region, Telia built a serverless data platform and AI capabilities in just one year. It automated campaigns that resulted in a sales uplift of a hundred and fifty

percent on products and nearly ten times the sales of their value-added services. Incredible uplift. Telecom operators like Bell Canada are working to address security and privacy challenges by helping customers securely store sensitive information in Canada. Kuninagel, a global logistics and transport company, recently turned to Bell to implement a hybrid cloud solution running on AWS with cloud storage and an off-site

hardware infrastructure that lets them control, manage, and audit their data in compliance with Canadian data sovereignty laws. It not only helped Kuninago meet their sovereignty requirements, it also reduced expenditures. Security and privacy are also the reasons that T-Systems is using AWS and is now offering a fully managed turnkey data protection service. T-Systems' new service better meets security and privacy criteria for customers, enabling them to control how their data is used, who has access to it, and how it's encrypted. The company is also going to offer local European-based technical support in a secure cloud environment from a team located inside of EU borders. And we're very excited about this collaboration.

Clearly, there's a lot of innovation happening across the industry that's helping telecom operators get the most value from their data. But we're also seeing leading innovators using cloud for more than IT infrastructure. Operators using the cloud to transform the core of their businesses now, the networks and the systems that provide connectivity and services to customers.

And this enables all new services on telecom platforms that weren't possible before, in areas like entertainment, security and privacy, and even sustainability, helping to create additional new revenue streams. They're building cloud native networks to reduce costs, to rapidly deploy new services, and to adapt quickly to varying network usage conditions. Last spring, Dish announced that it's building a new 5G network entirely on AWS from scratch. They're working with Nokia on the core and Maveneer on the ORAN to build a cloud-native

5G network that will give its business customers the ability to customize and scale their network experience on demand. It also helps customers bring new 5G applications to market faster by simplifying the development process. So now, developers can use standard APIs to access network data and AWS services and build applications that use that data, like low latency, augmented reality gaming, optimized for users' devices, contextualised advertising, or orchestrated movements of a robot at a disaster site. And at MWC last July, I had the pleasure to announce that Swisscom is partnering with AWS and Ericsson to build a cloud-native, stand-alone 5G core to increase operational efficiency and fuel innovation. And the result will be networks that can scale up and down at will

in ways that simply weren't possible before. Then in January of this year, Telenor announced that it's pushing the boundaries of innovation by running its entire Vimla core, its network operator brand in Sweden, on AWS in partnership with Working Group 2. They can now scale their cloud footprint brand in Sweden on AWS in partnership with Working Group 2. They can now scale their cloud footprint while innovating to develop new 5G and

edge services that use a combination of the most advanced and secure cloud technologies from AWS. A very different use case is NTT DoCoMo in Japan, who, like most service providers, is on a mission to reduce carbon footprint. They're doing that with AWS and our partner NEC to pilot 5G core network functions running on AWS-designed Graviton2 processors in the Tokyo region. AWS designed these Graviton chips, and we've placed them in compute instances

that would increase price performance by up to 40% compared to previous generations of processors. NTT expects that it will be able to cut energy consumption by as much as 30% when deploying and operating its public 5G network. That is breakthrough innovation. As you can see, the cloud is helping telecom operators to reduce cost and to become more agile. But to unleash the full power of 5G, we need to make sure applications running on 5G devices and endpoints can reach application servers with ultra-low latency. We specifically built AWS Wavelength to help with this.

Wavelength is a purpose-built service that embeds AWS compute and storage inside of 5G networks. It brings the cloud to the edge and minimizes the latency between mobile devices and applications so operators can monetize their 5G networks and develop applications that deliver unmatched experiences like high-resolution video streaming, image analytics and vehicle entertainment. Jaguar Land Rover in the UK is testing AWS Wavelength and Vodafone 5G in new automotive use cases like detecting vulnerabilities at pedestrian crossings. Cameras are mounted on fixed infrastructure or in vehicles and it uses the 5G network to stream video to AWS Wavelength compute infrastructure

installed at the mobile edge where a potential hazard is detected and then relayed to surrounding vehicles in near real time. In a use case like this, where speed is critical, Jaguar Land Rover is using AWS Wavelength and Vodafone 5G to significantly reduce the latency, ensuring fast response times. And we've deployed Wavelength with telecom operators around the world like Verizon, Bell Canada, Vodafone, SK Telecom and KDDI, with more to be announced later this year. Last week week Telefonica and AWS

announced they will jointly take to market cloud solutions for B2B customers like a cloud and edge integrated solution including 5G private networks and value-added services for its industry 4.0 customers. And Vivo Telefonica Brazil will build a cloud-native 5G core network on AWS so that they can dynamically allocate and scale 5G network capacity to meet the need of its customers. It's going to be a significant contributor to Telefonica's digital transformation journey, and we are thrilled to be a part of it.

IoT is another area of rapid innovation and opportunity. 5G networks are going to allow billions of devices to communicate and share data faster than ever. Telecom operators need the ability to collect, store, and analyze all the data coming in from these applications to build new applications. We're partnering with Ericsson on their new Cloud Connect services, which makes it easy for enterprises

to securely connect cellular devices to the cloud. And that makes app development even easier. IoT security provider Digital Keys, for example, has built an application that quickly identifies a user's identity, matches it to the right lock, and lets them open doors at banks, hotels, universities, office buildings, or apartments with a mobile device,

no more worrying about losing keys. This could be very useful at my house from time to time. More than 35 global communication service providers manage the connectivity of their IoT devices worldwide with Ericsson and AWS. global communication service providers manage the connectivity of their IoT devices worldwide with Ericsson and AWS. I talked earlier about the unique advantages that the cloud brought to early adopters. We're seeing a very similar adoption cycle today in telecommunications.

There's been great progress, and we're partnering with many of you to reinvent communications together and drive innovation across your businesses. As 5G evolves, we'll see all new applications that will create new revenue streams in some of the areas I mentioned, like entertainment, robotics, autonomous driving, real-time monitoring, and more. And we'll see new ways that customers are using the cloud to reduce their carbon footprint,

something that's important to all of us and a huge focus area for AWS. In 2019, Amazon co-founded the Climate Pledge with a goal to operate at net zero carbon across our entire business by 2040. And along the way, we're committed to powering all of our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025. According to 451 research, we've made using AWS five times more energy efficient than using the average data center located here in the EU. Five times. And a number of you here today, including BT Group, Verizon, and Telefonica, have already signed the climate pledge and we encourage

more of you to do so. And today, we're very pleased to announce that AWS has launched its customer carbon footprint tool, which makes it easier for our customers to estimate their carbon emissions based on their global use of AWS. We're excited about providing you services like this that help our customers move faster towards our shared sustainability commitments. All of the important next generation customer experiences that I've talked about will be and are being powered by the cloud.

And they wouldn't happen without connectivity and without you, our partners. And we look forward to being part of that future with all of you. Thanks again for having me here today. I hope everyone enjoys the week at Mobile World Congress. Thank you. Thank you so much, Adam. That was really great.

I'd like to move on to our next guest, Gao Ping, rotating chairman of Huawei. Huawei's vision is to build a fully connected, intelligent world. To achieve this, they have strategically been ramping up their investments in innovation and looking for breakthroughs

and new inventions to help address global challenges. Unfortunately, Mr. Gao Ping could not be here in person, but has a recorded message for us. Let's take a look. Good morning, everyone. I'm so pleased to speak at MWC Barcelona again. In the recent movie, Don't Look Up, the world faces a major catastrophe that it prefers

to ignore. I don't believe this is the future ahead of us. And by us, I mean Huawei and the industry as a whole. But to see the future, we have to look up above the politics, about the partisanship, about the rhetoric. Let's look up. Let's look ahead. Let's find a way forward. Those who care about Huawei may ask, how is Huawei doing? Will it still be competitive? Yes, from now. Will Huawei still help its customers succeed? I would say just look up. Digitalization and carbon neutrality are two of the world's hottest topics, which will impact the ICT industry for years to come. So today, I would like to talk about Huawei's view on them. The strength of the digital economy is roughly equal to connectivity density times computing

power. But now we need more than strength. We need long-term authority, so we need to consider a new dimension, carbon reduction. With these goals in mind, Huawei is significantly increasing its strategic investment into foundational technologies. We are working with our partners to reshape our technological paradigm. Currently, we are reshaping three areas, fundamental theories, architecture, and software. These will support the long-term sustainable development of the ICT industry. First, let's look at the fundamental theories like channel capacity expansion. We know that channel capacity is approaching its upper limit. So Huawei is exploring theories and technologies like next-generation MIMO and various AI,

which will get us ever closer to the Shannon limit. At the same time, we are studying new theories like semantic communications to build on Shannon's work. This will create next horizon for development within the communications industry. Second, we are working to reshape architecture. It is still challenging to achieve high-frequency, ultra-large bandwidth and ultra-high-speed wireless communications. For example, we are integrating photonic and electronic technologies to solve key problems and the technical bottlenecks facing chips. Computing architecture also poses challenges. AI and big data applications are developing at breakneck

speeds, and the traditional CPU-centered computing architectures are struggling to keep up. We are designing peer-to-peer architectures that utilize the full potential of GPUs and NPUs to support global AI development. Finally, we are also rethinking our approach to software. AI is growing at an explosive rate, significantly driving up demand for computing capacity. However, hardware development is slowing down. In response, we have launched a plan to massively improve software performance. We have also leveraged HarmonyOS and EulerOS for more effective use of the computing power available in different types of hardware and leverage our Manus Paul framework to help scientists and engineers improve development efficiency. We know that great user experience comes from software-hardware synergies.

And so, we are applying this concept to ICT products. Optimized algorithms for AHR Turbos are helping Meta AAUs consume less energy and improve performance. Algorithm breakthroughs, holographic optics enable all XCs to achieve one-hop connections. This kind of sustained investment in foundational technology will improve product competitiveness. Some ask, will Huawei retreat from the international market? Our answer continues to be no. We are committed to helping customers who choose us to achieve the greatest business success. We will continue our globalization strategy in standards, in talent, in supply chain, and more.

We will continue to be an active participant in global events. We have prepared a business blueprint called Guide. Please join us in our guide to the future. Let's work to light up the future together. Thank you so much to Mr. Guaoping for taking the time to share his insights with us. Some very exciting things within the innovation space. Next up, I'd love to

introduce Shuki Sheffer, President and CEO of Amdocs, an industry-leading provider of software and services. Shuki has made an incredible journey, starting as a programmer with Amdocs in its early days to becoming the head of the company's global business and CEO. Having seen many transformations in our industry over the years, in which Amdocs has played a major technology role, Shuki is well-placed to discuss the next wave of connectivity unleashed. Shuki, welcome. Wow. Wow. What a video.

And good morning, Shuki. Good morning, Stephanie. Tell me about this video. It's a pleasure to have you here today. Tell us about this video. I heard it went viral. I'd love you to tell the audience more about it. We spend a lot of time on this.

It's part of our strategic process about what company we'd like to be in the future. It did went viral. I think there are more than 12 million views around the world, much more than we expected. And making it amazing, it's an all-star. I mean, we try to think what company we'd like to be

in the future. And it's a journey for us. And we believe, as I said, this is what we'd like to do. And it's going to impact our employees, our great employees around the world. We want to be an amazing company.

We want to be the best employer, want to give them flexibility, great working environment, career paths. It's going to impact our customers. And we want to make sure that our customer will have great services for us and they will be able to give an amazing services to their consumer and enterprise. And obviously we want to make it amazing to our investors at the end

of the day and least last but last least I think that it's also to make it amazing to the communities we walk in because we believe as a company we talk about this later we want to continue to contribute to the community. And then it's not a slogan. It's a journey. It's an all-star. And I think that it changed all the mindset in the company after we introduced it.

I mean, I love it. Many companies are looking towards their future vision, but you're really making it amazing. It's just an incredible video. So I used to work for AT&T for many years. So I know Amdocs fairly well. But it's also fascinating, as you say, as the journey that you've been on and what you've developed over time. Can you tell us a little bit more about that transformation?

It was a really, truly a fascinating journey. I mean, for all of us that know us, I mean, today we are working in 5G, cloud, IoT, network, edge, media. We work everywhere. And this is definitely different from all the MDocs that mainly focusing many, many years ago traditionally on BSS and OSS. We empower the largest service provider in the world in this new transformation era of 5G era, we call it the new technology that we are empowering for them. And we are doing it in a very unique business model like everyone that knows us. I mean, it's a combination of great 29,000 employees

across the world in 85 countries and that support more than 350 customers around the world. And we'll talk about this. We actually supporting our customer from experience all the way to the network to leverage this 5G and all the new technology which is emerging today. Well, I mean, it's a powerhouse and it's also a building block for everything that's transformation with 5G.

So thank you for that. So next question. Given your scale and global perspective, what exciting things are you seeing about our industry today and Amdocs's role within that first let's start what the pandemic have done to uh to all of us and first of all i think it's clear by now that the industry is by far the the backbone of the connected society and the industry overnight by the way it's exactly two weeks ago two years ago for now and by the way, it's exactly two years ago for now.

By the way, I didn't travel for almost two years. Usually I travel every week. And so two years from now, I think that we took a decision to, on one day to move 29,000 employees to work from home. And it works. And I think that the industry was able to support everything around the world.

That's how the remote has, remote education, everything in an amazing way, pretty much overnight. So I think definitely, as I said, the pandemic proved again and again the industry is the backbone of the connected society. And I think that the pandemic also reset expectation of consumer enterprises. Things that could happen years

happen over a couple of years. And we see this emerging. And another thing that happened, we call it in Amdocs, there is a new segment. So traditionally we have consumer and we have enterprises. Now we call it like the new segment

which is called the enterprise consumer. Millions, hundreds of millions of people are working from home. They compete on bedrids with their kids. They need different security capabilities, different profile, different type of service. So all these enterprise consumers, as we call, this is another segment that emerged, obviously, in the pandemic.

And another thing that, for some reason that I cannot explain, also accelerated in the last couple of years, we have a perfect storm of new technologies. Between the cloud that we see Adam talked about, and obviously 5G, all these emerging technologies emerging together and actually power each other at the same time. And when we look about what Amdocs role in these changes, at the end of the day, the bottom line in simple terms,

there was major investment being done today, billions of dollars around the world in deploying 5G, migration to the cloud, legal transformation. And we want to see ourselves bring it all together, how we are allowing our customers to monetize and fulfill services across all this, what we call new 5G or new 5G era or software-defined network era. So we see ourselves in a position that actually we can connect between these great technologies and the ability of our customer

to provision the services in the best way, in high quality, and also to monetize it. I mean, again, it's a building block and fits perfectly well with, I mean, lots of discussion this week about how we monetize 5G. And I'm sure the audience can also relate to the competing bandwidth with our children. And looking at 5G, what is Amdoc's role in this 5G ecosystem? You touched a little bit on it in the last question. We pretty much cover the whole 5G ecosystem. We invested in this in the last, obviously, five years to be able to give this type of services and product to our

customers. So from we have a very comprehensive portfolio that support all 5G needs from the initial planning and design to orchestration and assurance through operational monetization.

We support all this ecosystem. And we are doing it in a very unique business model like Amdocs. We are, you know, in Amdocs, we are doing both the product and the services. So we implement the products and then operating the products with a very unique accountability model.

And I think that the most important thing that we are trying to do is to build platforms that allow our customer to actually take all the innovation, imagination around 5G and other type of services and eventually to monetize them.

We don't know exactly how 5G use cases will emerge. I mean, there are certain use cases in consumer. There are much more use cases, obviously, in enterprise. And we are building our platforms today which are flexible enough to allow our customer to dream and to implement new innovation. And I think that all the industry is about this right now. What will be the next sexy use case

or cool use cases, either for consumer or for enterprise? So this is where I think we spend most of our time to build something which is flexible enough that in the future, when the new use case will emerge, people or customers will be able to deploy it faster. If I want to take it even

to 200,000 feet, it's like how we can help our customers to monetize the future. Everyone is obviously looking around and trying to find what will be the next killer application. We are not doing it ourselves.

We have a very significant ecosystem of partners that are helping us to do this. We see Adam this morning. This is true for AWS, for Microsoft, and also for Google. And at the same time, another thing that we are doing is we are allowing our customers to connect to the huge ecosystem of application and offering that exists outside in a very simple and fast time

to market way. We want to make sure that our customer can use all this ecosystem and monetize, by the way, from all this partnership in the future, as I said, in a very simple way, very agile way, and also cost effective. So this is, I think, as I said, our role today in the industry is to connect between experience to network and to do it in the most efficient and best way that we can. So you play a big role in the ecosystem, a big role with consumers, businesses, and the simplification. I mean, everyone is contending with so many applications, so many cloud applications as well.

Very cool. So, last question. Tell me what excites you, Zsuzsi, when we connect this new world of technology with the real world. This is something I'm personally very passionate about, and I think that this is also something that is in the company culture and DNA. And another interesting phenomenon that I've seen, the company was always about supporting the communities that we work and live in. This was part of our DNA.

And actually, with everything, with all the last couple of years pandemic actually we saw an increase in the activity of the company in this in this regard by the way it's mainly employee driven obviously the corporate support is budgets but but we see more and more activity in in this in this in this in this domain which first of all i think this is the right thing to do think this is the right thing to do, because this is the right thing to do. And then we are taking it to different dimensions. Obviously, we want to emphasize on the digital inclusion.

So we are doing projects with collaboration with our customers, Kenya and Safaricom, South Africa and Telecom South Africa, in the Philippines with Globe, in Peru with Telefonica, we are doing a lot of projects that support the digital divide, to make sure that people have access to the internet and to connectivity as much as we can. This is one domain. And the other thing which was always there that we are very passionate about,

obviously about diversification and inclusion, general diversity, etc. This is something that was always in the culture of the company that we are actually accelerating. I think that as an industry, giving all the technologies that we have seen here in the convention and we are going to see in the next couple of days, the industry that proved as i said before that to be the backbone of society the industry is really a position in a really great place to support the world if i you know want to take it again to really high level because we do support connectivity we do can support the digital divide. We can do a lot of things that can support the communities we live and work in. And I can see, you know, everyone is talking about this.

It's a thing that the industry pretty much positioned better than other industries to do good to the world. And we are very excited about this. Good. A lot of matching values with the ecosystem, with inclusion, bridging the digital divide and support. So, Shuki, with that, I'd love to say thank you. Thank you for making it amazing on stage. Great to be here.

Hopefully we'll see each other next year without any pandemic in between. Yeah, thank you so very much. Thank you. Have a nice rest of the week. Thank you. Have a nice rest of the week. Thank you. So next up, I'd love to welcome to the stage remotely a speaker that's very well known. Technology visionary and entrepreneur,

Cher Wang, who's the co-founder and chairwoman of HTC. She has been describing the making of a metaverse like a world here at MWC for four years already. So I'm looking forward to hearing HTC's latest perspective on this brave new world. Again, unfortunately, she couldn't be here in person, but she has recorded a message for us. Hello, everybody. I'm sorry that I could not be here in person.

I hope you have a successful and enjoyable MWC. From the beginning at HTC, our VIVE Reality Vision has be VR, AR, AI, blockchain, and high-speed connectivity like 5G. These are technologies we should continue to innovate to carry us forward. This time at MWC, we are demonstrating our new 5G Rain series products. Our vision is a world where technology fades to the background and experiences come to the forefront. We can push the boundaries of our creativity and also collaborate, play, learn and dream. We call this Viverse which is our version of the metaverse, an immersive boundless universe of fantastic new experiences and a seamless gateway to other universes in collaboration with our partners.

It's an open platform created by the people, owned by the people, and shared by the people. Vive is our brand which means life and verse represents the chapters of life so Viverse enables us to create many great memories and encourages us to truly cherish our lives. Life in Viverse solves the physical limitations of time and space. Imagine starting your day on a Caribbean island in guided meditation or doing a Pilates class in Yosemite forest, or attending a Bible reading on a balcony of Sagrada Familia. Work takes on a whole new dimension in our immersive vibe meeting rooms, where we can meet and shake hands with colleagues from all over the world. Already, a wide range of professionals are benefiting from the shared presence in VIBE meeting rooms with intuitive 3D design and collaboration tools.

Afterwards, we can step in and engage in rooms for town hall meetings or business conferences, or any numbers of great training programs to improve our business skills. Entertainment is so much richer in the diverse, whether joining friends at a live concert in London or a great Broadway performance in New York, all volumetrically captured for a highly realistic atmosphere. Museums and art galleries across the world come to life and we can buy entities of beautiful digital artwork that catches our eye. There's a world of amazing activities for children in Viverse,

whether to practice their Spanish in Virtual Madrid or learn about ancient Egypt from inside the pyramids. Their learning achievements will unlock new skills and help them upgrade their avatars and access new experiences. In Viverse, we can do so much more, and we can create all these incredible memories with our living home. This bears our planet from countless tons of carbon emissions as well as giving us so much more time to spend

with our loved ones in the real world. This is the gift of infinite time, infinite space and infinite love in Viveverse. Of course our award-winning ViveVR products are the best platform to step into Viveverse, but Viveverse will strive to be accessible to anyone from any online device through our Vive Connect tool. Over the past seven years, we have collaborated with thousands of content developers to build Viveverse ecosystem, a shared resource and the community to catalyze open standards such as OpenXR and VRM for avatars

and to forge a fully transparent path to governance, economy, privacy and security. We have created various new tools such as ViBytes to help our partners build their own universe and ensure smooth transitions between content worlds. We stand ready today to embrace all content and enterprise partners in creating this great new world. Together we can act fast to deliver the very best of this remarkable technology. It is our responsibility as an industry

to accelerate the good and make the metaverse a positive, beneficial experience for everyone. Join us. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, Chair. So now I couldn't be more thrilled to welcome our final presenter this morning. Prem Akaraju, CEO of Way2Digital and founder of Way2Cloud, which just sold to Unity Software for $1.6 billion in December 2021. From Lord of the Rings to Avatar to the Marvel Avengers universe,

Waita's visual effects have shaped our imaginations with some of the biggest movies in the world. Prem comes to us by the way of some very good fortune of introductions made at MWC Los Angeles this past October. When we met him, we just had to have him on stage. The intersection of cloud, entertainment, and 5G is really a concrete 5G use case that everyone can universally relate to. Who doesn't love a great movie with great visual effects? And how many of you are now using a mobile device to watch those versus the traditional scream. Please welcome to the stage Prem. He knew every move of mine before I made it. Did you get a look at his face?

Not really. I saw him up the stairs through a dirty mirror. Did they show you a picture of me? Yeah, you look old. He's very good. He's the best. That's why I sent you. You're meticulous, thorough, disciplined, relentless.

You love puzzles. You're a chess player, right? The lie you told me for my birthday. And I always hated it. But I was an orphan, right? So how would we even know where my birthday was? But you never seemed to notice, so we just keep going. Let me introduce you to Junior. Junior is the most advanced digital human to ever grace the silver screen.

We made him at Weta for the 2019 film Gemini Man that was directed by famed director Ang Lee. Now, it's very important to note that Junior didn't go through a de-aging process that maybe some of you have read about in film where artists painstakingly take out wrinkles frame by frame, which I think I would love someone to do that for me, but that's not what this process is. Junior is a full digital double from head to toe. What's interesting about Junior is a heightened sense of difficulty because Junior is Will Smith, who's mega famous all around the world. So audiences would see an imperfection in his performance and immediately come out of the moment.

In the film, Junior is a 23-year-old Will Smith chasing after current-day Will Smith to kill him. So the question is, how did we get here and how did we do this? Let's take a step back in time and see exactly what we did. We bought our first computer at Weta in 1993 and started developing proprietary software that ended up creating what you just saw with Junior. I'll bring your attention to the fourth bullet point there, which is Gollum. Everybody, hopefully, and if you didn't, go see it tonight, Lord of the Rings. Gollum was the first photorealistic CG character on film.

Producers and directors from all around the world and Hollywood called us up and said, where did you cast him? Where did you find that actor? They thought he was real. Just as many of you did think that Junior was real as well. That's a core tenant in the conversion of 2D to 3D, or as many people call the metaverse, is belief. Because belief is what will drive true engagement, no matter if it's a film or a metaverse sporting event or what have it. The rest of our future is almost like a movie itself. 30 years, $30 billion of box office, and nearly 30 Oscar wins. It's absolutely extraordinary.

And with that success in feature films and getting people to believe in the virtual worlds that we created with Middle Earth and with Pandora for Avatar, that's when the light went on for us at Weta. And we said, what if our software tools and our skills can have a greater application to the conversion to the metaverse and other industries? And that's exactly what we did. And our first step we took in December, as Stephanie just mentioned. partnered with Unity Software to commercialize, productize, and offer our proprietary tools

as a software as a service to the entire industry and the world, prosumer all the way to consumer, for the very first time. So imagine what the world would look like if software tools like the one you saw that made Junior that was typically only in companies like mine now it's available to any future 3d artists any artists out there that has a dream and a device will be able to make such compelling immersive content as we have. It's incredibly, incredibly exciting. So the way we look at Weta now is not only do we create content, but we create creators that create content. It's a very, very wonderful place to be, as we feel.

Let's look at some of the applications of our software and our skills in other industries. It literally touches everything. We've been challenging ourselves as we've been taking this journey into this metaverse and to other industries. And we couldn't find an industry where they didn't have an application. So what are the applications today? This is one of my my favorite ones and i don't even play golf and deloitte actually made a technology to where they're bringing a major sporting event to the metaverse for the very first time or as deloitte calls it the unlimited reality where you could be on the course without being on the course with the power of 5G in your pocket.

It's very similar to how you felt like you were in Middle Earth when you were watching Lord of the Rings or you felt like you were in Pandora when you were watching Avatar. VR technology and medicine where students and practitioners will learn and practice when they're making split-second decisions and life-saving techniques. This is great for me because I'm not a great driver, I actually don't like driving. Autonomous driving finally is becoming a reality. Think about volumetric data capture to solve physical world problems like 3D mapping. It's incredibly exciting where we're going from here. The key point is that there's an intersection of three major events that is happening to

create the 2D to 3D conversion. The first thing you need is serious compute and connectivity. The second thing you need is 3D software, and the third thing you need is creators. Well, the first thing you lot have sorted out already with ultra-scale computing, like Adam was talking about earlier from AWS, which, by the way, we're an exclusive partner of AWS. We're going to

be rendering Avatar 2 on AWS as well, and with 5G edge technologies. That one's sorted. The 3D software now, and the creators, that's where we come in. Our deal with Unity software is making our software available to everyone, and of course, when there's ubiquitous access to the tools, there'll be an increase in creators. So I can't help, we talk about great examples, but I can't help to bring it back to the film industry. Of course, that's the industry that I'm from. So I'm going to show you some of the clips

of some of our exciting work that we've done at Weta right now. And now you can look at it with a different eye because now you've seen a little peek behind the curtain with Junior. I certainly don't want to ruin the movie-going experience for you, but I want to emphasize, again, the value of technology and creativity to drive engagement.

Thank you so much. Enjoy the conference. It was so great to tell you about Weta and our part of the world. Thank you. Dangerous business, Frodo. Going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Well done, my brave knight. I am inevitable. I am inevitable. I understand how upset you are. Your friends are in big trouble. We know where to find them. This has to be subtle. Subtle. Got it. I'm going to kill you. He's outgaming me. Dad, grab my phone. I don't want to move.

Dad? On your left. Yeah! Yeah! Thank you so much, Prem. Not a lot of words will beat all of that, so let me wrap it up and say thank you for attending this morning. We hope you see our rhyme and rhythm in this morning's keynote lineup. They're the players who represent, again, at the beginning,

the building blocks of what will be more and more understood going forward as the metaverse. Why don't we close this session by calling it MetaBlocks, the building blocks for the metaverse. Thank you so much for watching in person, around the venue and around the world. Keep enjoying MWC 22 and have a great day. Thank you. The preceding program was made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you. To find out how you can help, visit www.trinews.com.
