Network API Special Report
Network 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.
Exposing network APIs was the first step — building the business model is harder
Special Report #2/4: telcos still have a lot of work to do to develop API-based offerings that resonate with the requirements of users, observers say.
Aduna’s Peter Arbitter explains API JV is ‘not in it for the money’
Special Report #3/4: Aduna was created to give developers an easier way to access telcos’ network APIs globally. But the Ericsson-backed joint venture is discovering that aggregation is only part of its job as it wrestles with performance, getting operators to expose enough useful APIs, and turning the interest using them into telco revenues.
The ‘B2AI’ question: are telcos ready to sell trust to machines?
Special Report #4/4: Longer term, telcos believe AI agents could become a major new source of demand for network APIs, extending their business beyond user authentication and fraud prevention.
