Collaboration has always shaped human progress, and this becomes even more evident when we look at how technology evolves. The recent step by @Huawei, together with LG and Nokia, to join Sisvel’s PoS patent pool reflects a direction that is worth attention, where the role of Huawei as a founding member reflects both the wide recognition of its technologies by the industry and a long-term commitment to technology sharing and open innovation. It shows how innovation gains real value when it moves beyond individual ownership and becomes accessible within a shared framework. Technology, in fact, is not meant to remain confined, but to be applied, extended, and made available so that others can build on it. In this sense, simplifying access to standard essential patents for connected POS devices is not just a technical or legal improvement, but a way to create the conditions for broader participation and faster development across the ecosystem. From a market perspective, this approach can reduce complexity for companies developing payment solutions, support the evolution of POS systems into more capable connected platforms, and make it easier for new players to enter the space, while progressively shaping a more efficient, one-stop licensing model as more licensors join the ecosystem. There is also a broader message here. When companies align around common mechanisms, they create a foundation that benefits the entire value chain, which is particularly relevant in areas such as digital payments where interoperability and scale are key. This direction is consistent with Huawei’s broader track record in enabling access to innovation. Over time, the company has contributed to multiple patent pools and initiatives, including: - its participation in the Cellular IoT program, making technologies such as LTE-M and NB-IoT available globally - its role in advancing Wi-Fi standards and related patent contributions - a portfolio of over 260 license agreements signed by the end of 2025. The pool has also recently welcomed additional members, including NEC, BlackBerry, Datang Mobile, KPN, Wilus, JVCKENWOOD, and SK Telecom. In the end, progress in technology is rarely the result of isolated efforts but grows through collaboration, shared standards, and the ability to work together toward common goals. In partnership with @Huawei. #DigitalPayments #FinTech #Sisvel #Huawei

Agreed, and typically not for the betterment of the customer. Especially when the kiosk asks, "How did we do today?" Uhm... You didn't. I did it for myself. #custserv

Q7 | #custserv Opinion: Are people more likely to use self-service now than the were 3 yrs ago?

UPDATE: AIs have achieved the highest *possible* score on the Mensa Norway IQ test - 151 3 years ago: cognitively impaired human (64 IQ) 2 years ago: average human 1 year ago: genius human Today: literally off the charts Next year?
