Premium Connectivity Will Redefine Telco Monetization in 2026

Differentiated connectivity is transforming how telecom operators monetize 5G networks. At Mobile World Congress 2026, we explore how 5G network slicing and network APIs enable premium experiences, new business models, and new developer ecosystems. In this conversation, @Ronald_vanLoon speak with Jose Luis De La Vega, who leads Latin America Communications and Marketing at @ericsson, during Mobile World Congress. We discuss the shift from selling bandwidth to delivering performance-based connectivity. Instead of simply providing internet speed, telecom operators can now offer differentiated connectivity experiences tailored to specific use cases such as gaming, AR/VR, live streaming, and real-time transactions. Insights Covered: * Why telecom operators are shifting from bandwidth to performance * How 5G network slicing enables differentiated connectivity experiences * The role of network APIs in unlocking innovation for developers * Premium connectivity use cases for live events, sports, and entertainment * New monetization opportunities for telecom operators * Why customers are willing to pay extra for better quality of experience * How real-time services such as gaming, AR, and streaming benefit from low latency Network APIs and differentiated connectivity will unlock a new generation of applications, similar to how 4G enabled platforms like ride-sharing and food delivery apps. The next wave of innovation will be built on 5G capabilities such as network slicing, ultra-low latency, and premium quality of service. For telecom leaders, developers, and digital transformation executives, understanding these new monetization models will be key to capturing the full value of 5G networks.
