At #MWC26 we spoke with @IBM CTO Eoin Coughlan about agentic AI, autonomous networks, and digital sovereignty.

How can telcos balance automation, cost, and governance as AI becomes central to network operations?

If you follow TechMode, you know we talk a lot about business connectivity.

One question we often get is: How do I switch business internet providers without downtime? 🤔

Switching providers doesn't have to mean disrupting your business.

A few things we always recommend:

Step 1: Understand what your business relies on
Step 2: Don't disconnect your current service yet
Step 3: Test your new connection
Step 4: Plan the switch
Step 5: Think beyond the switch

Thinking about making the switch? @TMobileBusiness has some helpful resources on planning your transition.

T-Mobile for Business Partner

[Chelsea L. Andrews ✨ @Chels_LA]

Did you know a typical large enterprise manages 20+ internet service providers?

It raises an important question: What should I look for when choosing a business internet provider?

It’s not just speed and price. Think deployment, reliability, scalability, support, and how easily connectivity can be managed across the business.

That's why I've been following what @TMobileBusiness is doing. From 5G Business Internet to SuperBroadband (5G + Starlink), they're rethinking connectivity as a portfolio of solutions - not a one-size-fits-all product.

As connectivity becomes more business-critical, I think the organizations that simplify how it's deployed and managed will have a real advantage.

How many providers does your organization manage?

📻 Morning tech in the '90s looked like this:

☕ Radio alarm clock
📼 Taped the show you missed on VHS
📞 Answering machine blinking red
🎮 A quick round of Game Boy before school

Tech was clunky. Battery life was a myth. And we loved every second.

💬 What was your morning tech routine back then?

📌 Q: How does an AI copilot boost productivity?

A: An AI copilot boosts productivity by automating repetitive tasks, summarizing long documents, and drafting content directly inside daily software apps.

It lets people finish routine chores faster and focus more time on important creative or strategic goals

This was a good discussion with my friend, @zkerravala from #GTC2025… more things change, more they remain same.

Do you know what post-quantum cryptography is?

If not, you're not alone.

The biggest risk isn't when quantum computers arrive, it's that attackers can steal encrypted data today and decrypt it years from now.

That's why quantum readiness is a leadership conversation, not just a cybersecurity one.

@BevEve @TMobileBusiness Two connections do not always mean true redundancy. Real resilience depends on independent infrastructure and automatic failover. Great article, @BevEve

[Beverley Eve @BevEve]

Two internet connections don’t always mean true redundancy.

📰In my latest Tech on Tour newsletter, I’m unpacking why backup internet depends on independence, not quantity.

TechMode Explains Week 1 - Complex tech. Clearly explained.

Every two weeks, we'll take one of the biggest technologies shaping enterprise and explain it in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way.

This week's topic: AI Agents 🤖

Think of ChatGPT as an assistant.

An AI agent goes one step further. Instead of just answering your question, it can actually complete the task.

From preparing meeting briefs to summarising emails and updating systems, AI agents are changing how work gets done.

The future of AI isn't just answering questions.

It's taking action.

💬 What task would you hand over to an AI agent first?

What's the best backup internet solution for a small business?

It's a question I hear all the time, usually after an outage, when it's already too late.

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that adding a second wired internet connection automatically gives you redundancy.

In this short video, I explain why resilience requires thinking differently and why T-Mobile For Business SuperBroadband changes the conversation around business continuity.

The average cost of a data breach is now $4.88 million.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT conversation. It's becoming a business conversation.

After reading Microsoft's latest CFO eBook, one thing became clear: the role of the CFO is evolving.

From AI and data governance to cyber risk and business resilience, finance leaders are playing a bigger strategic role than ever before.

Here are my top five takeaways.

Everyone is focused on AI risk in energy grids. But one of the biggest challenges is maintaining operational visibility across connected systems.

When the grid loses visibility, operational awareness becomes more difficult.

And in AI-driven environments, resilient connectivity becomes increasingly important.

That’s why connectivity resilience matters more than ever.

With @TMobileBusiness SuperBroadband, I explored how integrated connectivity solutions combining T-Mobile's 5G network and Starlink help support resilient connectivity for modern infrastructure.

Because in modern infrastructure: Operational visibility is becoming increasingly important for modern infrastructure.

Two connections don’t always mean true redundancy.

The real question is whether your backup can fail independently from your primary connection.

The biggest threat to great technology isn't bad engineering.

It's poor communication.

The best enterprise tech doesn't always win. The technology that's easiest to understand often does.

Enterprise buyers don't buy complexity.

They buy confidence.

“Internet is now as fundamental to a business as heating and air conditioning." - @EvanKirstel

If connectivity is becoming a foundational part of the business, provider decisions are about more than bandwidth and price.

The role of the CFO is changing.

As organisations embrace AI, finance leaders are taking on a bigger role in managing risk, strengthening governance and driving business transformation.
