Panel: What will it take for telcos to unlock value from network APIs?

20 May 2026
Woodrow Wilson Stage, First Floor, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
Voice & Messaging Leaders' Summit
The telecoms industry is becoming the engine behind programmable, intelligent digital infrastructure. As APIs enable developers to access network capabilities such as mobile identity, location tracking and quality on demand, it demonstrates a pivot to unlock fresh revenue streams and diversify away from pure infrastructure to a differentiated service layer. STL Partners projects $34 billion in telco network API revenue by 2030 and this session will reveal different strategies for monetisation, the necessary ecosystem partnerships to put in place, as well as how to leverage deeper customer insight to create more personalised services.
