GSMA  OneAPI  

•  Federated  APIs  •  Rou0ng  and  

discovery  at  hub  based  on  MSISDN  

•  GSMA  OneAPI  based  

•  Ecosystems  at  different  levels  

•  Join  forces,  where  necessary,  to  mi0gate  their  natural  disadvantage  compared  to  network-­‐independent  third  par0es:  the  provision  of  global  reach  

•  Differen5ate,  where  possible,  to  preserve  compe00on,  speed  and  innova0on  power  in  the  API  space

APPLICATIONS

/tone’s mFish will leverage the adoption of mobile phone use across the developing world to address sustainable fishing challenges and improve economic conditions in fishing villages.

mFish will use mobile services to provide real-time information to help fishermen, managers and the seafood industry to communicate, access information and share data seamlessly. Information can be used to collect and analyze catch data, monitor illegal fishing, trace seafood along supply chains, and improve fishing safety Source: http://www.withtone.com/about/
