Enterprise pain first<\/strong>! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Natasha Nayak<\/a> the Head of the GSMA’s Fusion, demand-side, Programme, explained their role. Fusion starts with enterprise pain points not an API catalogue and then mobilises operators around real demand.
She gave real-world examples of impact including reduced onboarding drop-off in Portugal, 500,000 monthly SIM swap\/number-verify transactions in Brazil, and a 58% onboarding uplift in Asia Pacific by replacing SMS OTP<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Turning APIs into Real-World Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Impact at scale.<\/strong> 
Network APIs win priority when they fit existing workflows and improve business metrics, connecting raw network signals to outcomes. Aduna Global<\/a>‘s CEO Anthony Bartolo<\/a> outlined three requirements for impact at scale:
– Simplified multi-network access
– Consistent behaviour and security across networks
– Outcome-aligned commercial models such as per-transaction or per-session pricing<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
