The system silently derives the user&#8217;s phone number, performs network-based verification, and links to a verified government identity, all without an OTP.

Rather than requiring traditional API integration, it allows agents to access data and functions through a standardised discovery-and-invocation layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The live demo was persuasive. An <strong>AI agent, using Cursor<\/strong>, deployed a full application onto a Kubernetes cluster, created network routes and ingress rules, and raised a pull request, all through conversational prompts. A second demo showed a <strong>multimodal AI<\/strong> assessing live audience engagement from camera images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>&#8220;The future of networking is agentic: AI agents will manage infrastructure through natural language intent, not manual configuration.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Lin Sun, Solo.io<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implication for telecoms is direct: if network APIs are not MCP-accessible, AI agents will simply route around them.

The consensus was clear: the APIs are well-built. The blocker now is speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several important themes emerged:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Agents will not behave like humans<\/strong>; they will call APIs in unexpected combinations and at unpredictable frequency. Product and security design must account for this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A new commercial model is needed<\/strong>; pricing models, SLAs, and security posture designed for high-frequency, non-deterministic agent behaviour.&nbsp; Not human developer patterns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trust is the entry ticket<\/strong>; enterprises will only route workflows through operator platforms if they can rely on governance and accountability frameworks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harmonisation is non-negotiable<\/strong>; inconsistency between operators within or across countries is a blocker for enterprise adoption at scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/telefonica\/\">Telef\u00f3nica<\/a> was direct: without harmonised API exposure across markets, the ecosystem fragments and enterprise confidence erodes. The call to action from the panel was specific: speed of exposure, portfolio expansion, and governance frameworks, in that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-takeaways-from-session-2\"><strong>Key Takeaways from Session 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Agentic AI<\/strong> is not a future scenario; it is the near-term design requirement for every network API strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MCP<\/strong> makes network capabilities discoverable and consumable by AI agents without human-in-the-loop integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The winning authentication stack combines <strong>network signals, digital identity<\/strong>, and <strong>adaptive biometrics<\/strong>.
