Telcos have API's, but they alone don’t create value. The next step is building open, interoperable ecosystems where partners can discover, combine, and monetize network capabilities securely. In this session, we will explore how to evolve from simple API exposure to Cloud Native Telco 2.0, platforms that generate measurable business outcomes while satisfying strict security and compliance needs.

I will speak about practical patterns for API federation and discoverability using open standards, creating real time usage dashboards to connect adoption with revenue, and designing marketplaces that enable co-innovation. On the security side, we will cover policy-as-code with OPA/Kyverno, multi-tenant isolation using Kubernetes and service mesh, and continuous auditing with OpenTelemetry. This will be playbook for building a secure, monetizable telco platform that developers trust, partners adopt, and business leaders can measure.
