This panel discussion at DSP Leaders World Forum examines how telcos can execute on network API opportunities while addressing the challenge of limited commercial traction. Deutsche Telekom’s Nathan Rader advocates focusing on API monetisation before pursuing agentic operations and proposes a three-layer network stack approach, while the GSMA’s Raman Mistry reports that two-thirds of Open Gateway deployments centre on trust and security solutions. The industry experts, including David Boswarthick from ETSI and Diego Lopez from Telefónica also discuss how to complement rather than compete with hyperscalers through unique network-based capabilities.
