Markus Kuemmerle, Program Manager, DT API Exposure, Deutsche Telekom

Deutsche Telekom’s Markus Kuemmerle outlines the evolution of telco network APIs from standardisation via Camara to exposure standards through the GSMA Open Gateway. He identifies key challenges including the need for value-oriented APIs, broader market coverage, and streamlined consent processes. Kuemmerle stresses that 2025 must be the ‘year of monetisation’ and highlights how AI enhances the ecosystem through improved predictions, models-as-a-service opportunities, and integration with language models.
