Snippet:
Augie Fabela doesn't hedge. Put it to him that the AI debate is draining oxygen from the room, pulling operators away from the harder job of building digital services on top of telecom infrastructure, and Veon's founder and chairman turns the question over. He would look at it the other way, he says.
