Track: Programmable Real-Time Networks |
A multisided marketplace platform for telco enabled products |
Why has there been so much more innovation in the web- and mobile than other industries? One reason is that the internet and the two major mobile platforms have been great at enabling third party developers to build a wide range of products, as well as offered a great distribution channel towards end-users. We believe this multisided marketplace approach is the next step for the telecom industry as well. WGTWO has created a programmable mobile core network, built as a platform, API’ed and delivered as-a-service, along with marketplaces where operators, developers and end-users interact. This enables 3rd party developers to create great products that people love - helping operators to start using and redistributing these products - and allowing subscribers to find, add, and manage extra products on top of their price plans. Making this a reality is not straight forward. Let us share our journey, where we started - where we are right now - and the direction we are heading. |
