Asia Pacific telecom operators started 2022 strongly, extending the recovery momentum built through the previous year into the first quarter. The majority of operators tracked across the region posted positive revenue growth, with Indian telecom operators standing out for particularly robust performance following tariff adjustments that lifted both revenue and average revenue per user.
Bharti Airtel's focus on winning higher-quality customers translated into strong mobile revenue growth, expanding 4G subscriber numbers, and rising data consumption per user, reinforcing the operator's position as one of the region's stronger performers. Reliance Jio, meanwhile, has been setting the pace on bundling fibre broadband with content, pairing home connectivity growth with an expanding slate of on-demand channels and over-the-top app partnerships.
Jio's approach to building a broader partner ecosystem through strategic investments and joint ventures illustrates how leading operators are extending beyond pure connectivity to capture more of the digital value chain around content and entertainment. Covering thirty-six operators across the region, the comparison offers a view into how differently telcos are positioning for growth as 2022 progresses.

AI is becoming standard in CX; execution is becoming the differentiator. The competitive gap is shifting from who has the most AI features to who can connect intelligence across customer context, enterprise systems and workflows to resolve outcomes end to end.

The Twimbit AI-CX Vendor Landscape 2026 therefore evaluates vendors across both AI capability and innovation and market execution and adoption, revealing who can turn AI from impressive technology into scalable enterprise impact.

Managed access to Chinese frontier AI models is reshaping enterprise AI strategy. The arrival of Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 on Amazon Bedrock signals a shift in how large organizations approach AI model selection, procurement, and governance. Enterprises can now leverage advanced, open-weight Chinese AI through familiar AWS APIs, billing, and security frameworks, reducing operational friction and enabling new options for cost management and deployment flexibility.Kimi K3’s integration with Amazon Bedrock introduces prompt caching and supports multi-model architectures, allowing organizations to distribute workloads between open-weight and proprietary models based on cost, complexity, and business needs. This development prompts a re-examination of AI infrastructure, balancing performance, cost efficiency, and governance across diverse use cases.Key considerations for CIOs, CFOs, and CISOs include model provenance, licensing, regulatory compliance, and data residency—especially as regional availability and legal obligations differ across the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The managed environment provides strong infrastructure-level security, but enterprises must still evaluate the governance of Chinese-origin models before adoption.<ul><li>Explores managed deployment options for open-weight AI on AWS</li><li>Assesses security, compliance, and procurement implications</li><li>Compares regional constraints and opportunities for global enterprises</li></ul><blockquote>How will the availability of Chinese frontier AI models like Kimi K3 on Amazon Bedrock change enterprise AI procurement and governance strategies?</blockquote>

AI compute and chips are undergoing rapid transformation as enterprises shift from a focus on peak training performance to a more nuanced approach that weighs workload requirements, utilisation economics, and infrastructure flexibility. The landscape now extends beyond general-purpose GPUs to include hyperscaler-designed silicon, specialised processors, and regionally controlled architectures. This evolution is driven by growing demand for inference, AI agents, real-time applications, and distributed deployment models, all of which are reshaping how compute is sourced and deployed.Key considerations now include not only processing power, but also cost per workload, energy efficiency, software compatibility, supply resilience, and long-term adaptability. Enterprises must evaluate chip architectures and suppliers across technical, financial, strategic, and operational dimensions, with an increasing emphasis on matching infrastructure to specific application needs rather than standardising on a single chip type.<ul><li>Coverage of general-purpose GPUs, custom cloud silicon, inference specialists, and regional AI chip providers</li><li>Analysis of workload-driven procurement strategies for AI infrastructure</li><li>Examination of supplier risk, software lock-in, and multi-chip strategies</li></ul>For CIOs and technology leaders, the central question is no longer which chip is the fastest, but which combination of compute, software, and supplier ecosystem best supports evolving business and AI workload requirements.<blockquote>How are enterprise AI infrastructure decisions shifting from performance-led to workload-led strategies, and what forces are redefining the AI chip market?</blockquote>
