The Great Indoors

2025 was supposed to be a year of stability for telecom. Instead, it exposed where the industry’s assumptions no longer held.In this opening episode of The Great Indoors, now in its 11th season, Matthew Roberts is joined by Craig Moffett who is a co-founder and senior analyst at MoffettNathanson. Craig brings decades of experience tracking broadband, cable, and satellite and has a reputation for clear-eyed analysis that cuts through consensus thinking. They discussed what last year revealed, and what 2026 will demand. Together, they explore why cable may be far better positioned than market sentiment suggests, how competitive pressure continues to weigh on traditional wireless players, and why pricing power proved harder to sustain than many expected. The conversation spans the year’s biggest surprises, from EchoStar’s spectrum-driven turnaround to the growing, but still limited, role of satellite connectivity. If 2025 tested the narrative, 2026 will test execution.

What does it take to lead a telecom revolution — from the infrastructure beneath our feet to the intelligence in our hands?

First, Matt is joined by Ankur Kapoor, Chief Network Officer at T-Mobile, and Nir Hollander, GM & Divisional President of Amdocs.

Together, they reflect on key takeaways from MWC, from programmable networks to the rise of self-healing infrastructure, and offer advice for telcos worldwide. Then Matt sits down with Daniel Hernandez Ortega, SVP of Devices and Digital Ecosystems at Telefonica. From AI-powered Ray-Ban glasses to hybrid cloud-device architectures, Daniel shares what’s shaping the next wave of consumer tech and how AI is becoming part of everyday life, even for his kids. He also dives into the evolving industry landscape, highlighting the rise of new players and what it takes for vendors to stand out in the competitive AI and 5G space. It’s time to wrap up Season 10!

Today’s marketplace demands more than just strategy—it calls for adaptability, creativity, and a deep understanding of emerging technologies.

What does it take to digitally empower an entire nation – and secure it at scale? At MWC Barcelona 2025, Matthew Roberts investigates how teams across Globe Telecom are unlocking the full potential of AI. First, Matt and co-host Gil Rosen, CMO at Amdocs, are joined by Anton Reynaldo Bonifacio, Chief AI Officer and Chief Information Security Officer. Anton shares his journey into this unique dual role and offers his perspective on the future of AI leadership. He also breaks down how Globe is building its AI strategy and why your development approaches need to differ for all those on your team. Then we’re joined by Darius Jose Delgado, Globe’s Chief Commercial Officer. Darius leads Globe’s entire commercial portfolio across mobile, broadband, and B2B, and has been instrumental in driving Globe’s aggressive push toward full digital adoption and connectivity nationwide. This is a story about technology with purpose — and a commitment to nation-building that deserves to be heard.

Can any brand become a mobile provider? That’s the question Matthew Roberts explores at MWC Barcelona 2025, as he sits down with two industry leaders who are reshaping traditional telecom models through Amdocs’ ConnectX—or as some might call it, “telco in a box.” First, Matt is joined by Stephanie Ormston, Head of Commercial and Product at AT&T’s MVNX Ecosystem. Together, they unpack what mobile virtual network experiences (MVNX) are, how they differ from traditional MVNOs, and why they’re opening up powerful new partnership opportunities. Stephanie explains how non-telco brands can now tap into AT&T’s network and embed connectivity directly into their customer experience. Next, Matt speaks with Zbigniew Pawlik, better known as Zibi, Founder & CEO of MVNE.PL. Inspired by a transatlantic sailing trip, Zibi shares how he launched his own mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Poland. He walks through the challenges of getting the venture off the ground, why the Polish market has lagged behind the rest of Europe, and how ConnectX is making telecom entrepreneurship more accessible than ever. Whether it’s a fintech platform bundling data, or a retail brand offering loyalty-driven mobile plans, hear how connectivity is becoming less about infrastructure—and more about experience.
