4. What is the Capability context
of the Service Delivery Framework?
Composite Services and 3rd party innovation
• Expose capabilities (to ASP and devices)
• Telco enable WEB 2.0
• Let users generate services
• Enable two-sided platform model
Living Mediation of Telco and other services/enablers
• Facebook status update via SMS
• Notify call on IPTV screen
• Divert call depending on Outlook calendar
• USSD and SMS Applications
Traditional Telecom Services
• MVPN
• Steering of Roaming
• Call Completion
• mobile PBX

6. Central User Profile and Service Repository
The central repository holds all subscriber info as well
as it holds service and runtime data for the orchestration containers.

13. Something we should not forget to also cover…
The GSMA One API project is only covering the technical side, which of course is important,
but we must not forget to also tackle the business side.
Question:
With how many operators does a developer, developing a cool App for mobile phones,
have to sign a contract in order that people, form all over the world, can actually use his App?
(the App of course is using an exposed service through WS)
734?
Update: -> according to Graham Trickey from the GSMA they are actually also starting to cover this aspect.
But In order to make it a success they depend on the participation of the operators. So please make sure you get involved!

14. Open Service Infrastructures
An Operator example
„The telco thing? Well, I think now more than ever it‘s important for operators to open up
their platform, because they have a great suite of under-used assets that outsiders can‘t
access and exploit. You‘ll never be able to sell beauty, passion, or love. But you can do a lot
more to act as an enabler and distributor for those who can and do.”
