Watch telcos and vendors as AI Ops adoption drives cost takeout and network automation demand.

The author argues Nokia's photonic chip expansion and low valuation relative to peers make it a deeply undervalued optical play, and they explicitly present a full deep dive with a price target, indicating a long position.

The author argues that Nokia's selloff on the news may be misguided because Nvidia's new radio chip could enable rather than compete with Nokia's systems.

The author presents a speculative research watchlist of connectivity bottleneck beneficiaries across the AI infrastructure chain without stating any current positions or forward calls.

Europe is building a "Kill Switch" to insulate itself from US tech leverage. France and others have stated desires to move off platforms like Teams and Zoom. This is the "Soft Power" rebuild. Regulatory pressure and "sovereignty" mandates will force EU enterprises and governments to switch to local providers for cloud, telecom, and integration. This creates a "Euro Stack" of winners in semi-conductors (ASML, Infineon), telecom infrastructure (Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Orange), and data/cloud services (SAP, Capgemini, Nebius). Long the "European Digital Sovereignty" basket. These companies have a regulatory moat protecting them from US competition within the EU. European tech execution has historically lagged; US tech giants are deeply entrenched and difficult to displace.
