The continent of #Africa (pop. 1.4bn) seemed notable by its absence in the #API joint-venture recent announcement from Ericsson and telco partners. Luckily MTN's own Chenosis business is already offering the continent a route to #digital #transformation, with APIs at the heart. We look at how Chenosis is taking a different-than-usual approach, which recognizes the unique characteristics and opportunities across the African continent. Instructive for any #telco looking at new revenue sources and business models based on APIs. By Robert Curran and John Cyriac Abraham [paywall/free on subscription]

In our latest #podcast episode, we're diving deeper into #autonomous #networks in #telecom - and calling out some of the misunderstandings and misconceptions around them. They're a new thing? Nope. That they're not exactly rocket science? Well... Listen in as Principal Analysts Grant Lenahan and Francis Haysom share some different thinking with Robert Curran on how telecom can and should be making progress towards #network #autonomy - and mind that #chasm... On Apple podcasts and direct at https://lnkd.in/d6JJ6MMt

How can telcos quantify their progress towards #network #autonomy? And how does the existence of the #chasm change how productivity and efficiency are measured today? In a follow-on to the previous network autonomy chasm paper, Francis Haysom provides a new framework for measuring - and ultimately justifying - the path to #autonomous #networks.
