Exploring Mobile Connect with GSMA’s Niklas Bergvall – Podcast Episode 16
Let's talk about digital identity with Niklas Bergvall, Chair of the Mobile Connect Interest Group at GSMA.
In episode 16, Niklas fills us in on how mobile operators around the world have joined forces to build a standard for strong authentication and other services to help protect our digital identity – Mobile Connect.
"It may be that you and I, and some of the listeners of the podcast, are interested in identity. For the rest of the world its a necessary evil."
Niklas and Oscar discuss Mobile Connect (a mobile identity-based service), its proven global use cases (such as China Mobile), why digital identity became a strategic priority for GSMA and the unique insights of MNOs to improve digital identity.
