🎙️ CPaaSAA Talk with Justin Paul (GSMA) — Why GSMA is Partnering with CASA25

In this CPaaSAA Talk, Rob Kurver speaks with Justin Paul from GSMA Open Gateway about why GSMA is sponsoring CASA25, and the collaborative momentum building around Network APIs, real-world use cases, and industry education.

🔹 Why CASA25?

While GSMA runs large global events like Mobile World Congress, Justin emphasized the importance of participating in focused third-party events like CASA25. Open Gateway’s mission is based on collaboration, and CASA25 offers a unique opportunity to engage a highly curated group of CPaaS innovators, telcos, and ecosystem builders in a more intimate, results-driven environment.

“All boats rise if we can drive real adoption and understanding of network APIs. CASA25 is the perfect place for that.” – Justin Paul
