If AI becomes the heart of every mobile network, will carriers make money from AI instead of selling Internet capacity like today and will users have to pay additional costs?
Huawei has just announced a new vision at MWC Shanghai 2026, saying that the global telecommunications industry is entering a completely different phase, where AI is no longer just an additional feature but will become the core foundation of the new generation mobile network.
According to Mr. David Wang, Huawei Rotating Chairman, the development of mobile networks over the years has continuously surpassed the limits of performance and spectrum efficiency. However, the AI wave is creating completely different requirements for network infrastructure, forcing operators to change their business models as well as system architecture.
AI will change the way carriers make money
For many years, carriers' revenue came mainly from Internet data, voice and messaging. Huawei believes that this model is gradually reaching its growth limit.
Instead, the business proposes the concept of AI Token, meaning AI services will become a new source of revenue. When users and businesses use AI assistants, AI Agents, automated robots or real-time AI services, carriers can charge fees based on AI capacity instead of just data traffic.
This opens up completely new business opportunities for the global telecommunications industry.
Huawei wants to build an endogenous AI network
Huawei says future mobile networks need to be designed around three important components
Component Role
Communication infrastructure Ensures stable connection with extremely low latency
Computing infrastructure Shares computing resources across the network
AI Infrastructure Supports AI Agent, real-time AI and intelligent applications
According to Huawei, when these three components are integrated, the telecommunications network will not only transmit data but also become a large-scale computing and AI platform.
Compare traditional networks and AI networks
Criteria Traditional Network AI Network according to Huawei
Revenue sources Internet data AI Token and AI services
Connectivity Connectivity combines AI and computing
Latency Suitable for general applications Optimized real-time AI
Allocation of resources Fixed Flexible by AI
Ecosystem of devices and applications of AI Agent, AI Cloud, Robots, Autonomous Vehicles
Competition is increasingly fierce
Huawei is not the only enterprise pursuing this direction.
Corporations such as Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm and Samsung Networks are also investing heavily in 5G Advanced networks, AI RAN and autonomous networks using artificial intelligence.
The difference is that Huawei wants AI to become the center of the entire telecommunications network, instead of just supporting operational optimization.
What will users get?
If this model is implemented successfully, users can benefit from
* AI responds almost instantly
* AI video calls are more stable
* Live language translation
* Robots and autonomous vehicles operate more safely
* Virtual and real realityEnhanced economics with extremely low latency
* Personal AI Agent is always available on any device
Viewing angle
Huawei's message at MWC Shanghai 2026 shows that competition in the telecommunications industry no longer revolves around download speed or the number of broadcast stations.
The new focus will be on AI capabilities, the ability to share computing resources and build an ecosystem where AI becomes a core service. If this trend develops as predicted, the business model of network operators in the next decade could change the most dramatically since the mobile Internet appeared.
