At the China Internet Conference 2026, which commenced on July 8, experts highlighted that the swift progress in artificial intelligence (AI) technology has spurred new requirements for mobile communication networks. The construction of the next-generation network infrastructure, which is designed to support large-scale models and agent operations, is now being expedited. Currently, China stands at the forefront globally in the research and development of pivotal technologies like 5G-A and 6G, with AI agents emerging as a central focus for industrial innovation. As AI technology continues to advance, network capabilities must undergo a profound transformation, with the integration of communications, computing, and AI fueling the evolution of internet services. The scope of connectivity is broadening from 'interconnection among humans, machines, and objects' to 'interconnection among intelligent agents.' Meanwhile, the nature of connections is evolving from mere bytes to a combination of bytes and tokens. Networks will be required to handle intelligent data streams. It is anticipated that global IP traffic will skyrocket by 2030, with AI agent traffic constituting 60% of the total. Additionally, the release of token value necessitates network upgrades, with the future objective being to seamlessly integrate tokens into computational networks, thereby transforming them into lossless, efficient, and secure networks that can support tokens.
