During the MWC this year, we found some moments to catch up with Salman Nayyar, our Regional Director, South-West Asia. Salman was happy to enlighten us on various topics dealing with the future of messaging from an MNO perspective, the effect of the proliferation of OTTs on messaging revenues and the importance of securing an MNOs’ network, amongst others. He told us why he would opt for SMPP connection SS7 and his firm belief that it is how one uses a firewall that counts, not the firewall itself.
