The higher the Abstraction Level, the bigger theSourcing Ecosystem


Composite Services and 3rd party innovation

• Expose capabilities (to ASP and devices)

• Telco enable WEB 2.0

• Let users generate services

• Enable two-sided platform model

Living Mediation of Telco and other services/enablers

• Facebook status update via SMS

• Notify call on IPTV screen

• Divert call depending on Outlook calendar

• USSD and SMS Applications

Traditional Telecom Services

• MVPN

• Steering of Roaming

• Call Completion

• mobile PBX

The GSMA One API project is only covering the technical side, which of course is important,but we must not forget to also tackle the business side.

Question:With how many operators does a developer, developing a cool App for mobile phones,have to sign a contract in order that people, form all over the world, can actually use his App?(the App of course is using an exposed service through WS)

734?

Update: -> according to Graham Trickey from the GSMA they are actually also starting to cover this aspect.But In order to make it a success they depend on the participation of the operators. So please make sure you get involved!

Something we should not forget to also cover…


„The telco thing? Well, I think now more than ever it‘s important for operators to open up their platform, because they have a great suite of under-used assets that outsiders can‘t access and exploit. You‘ll never be able to sell beauty, passion, or love. But you can do a lot more to act as an enabler and distributor for those who can and do.”
