How telcos can build new revenue with Network APIs (and what to validate first)

Technology

Building new revenue streams requires treating APIs as products. Before committing significant CAPEX, ICT leaders must validate the commercial viability. Which verticals are desperate for these capabilities? Fintechs need fraud protection, while logistics firms need reliable location verification.

Practical steps for validation

  1. Identify priority use cases: Focus on high-demand capabilities rather than launching everything at once.

  2. Validate quickly: Use rapid validation sprints to test value with partners before a full build.

  3. Define the commercial model: Test pricing elasticity and packaging early.
