API Evangelist Conversation with Henry Calvert, Global Head of Future Networks @ GSMA

Henry Calvert, Global Head of Future Networks at GSMA came by to talk about the GSMA Open Gateway, a suite of APIs the GSMA Open Gateway global initiative aims to drive the exposure and monetization of telecommunication networks through APIs and federation. The GSMA launched the Open Gateway APIs under the Linux Foundation in a project called CAMARA, and you can find all the OpenAPI specifications for the APIs on GitHub. The GSMA looks to have taken a pretty savvy balance between what developers are looking for, telco business leadership, but also government regulators, making for another interesting attempt to modernize telco networks using a standardized API-first approach.
