Network API Special Report
Special ReportNetwork APIs find their market, but where’s the money?
Special Report #1/4: in the first part of a four-part series on network APIs, we look at the scale (or otherwise) of operator revenue from the interfaces and the main use-cases driving it: namely fraud prevention and identity authentication.
