Network APIs & Agents closing summary: The state of the network API market after three years of Open Gateway

To close this year’s Network APIs and Agents Summit, Guy Daniels is joined live by neXt Curve executive analyst Leonard Lee to assess the state of the global network API market three years on from the launch of the GSMA’s Open Gateway initiative. Lee argues that operators monetise services and products rather than APIs themselves, and examines why trust and security use cases, such as Number Verification and SIM Swap, have emerged ahead of more complex capabilities like Quality on Demand. The discussion also covers the role of exchanges, such as Aduna Global, the “illusion of interoperability” around Camara, the question of who network developers really are, and a network solutions focus that looks beyond individual APIs.
