📅 Mark your calendar for June 26 – The second session of The Inner Circle is just around the corner, and you won’t want to miss it. If you’re working in or around messaging, block the hour now. Billions are at stake, and the landscape is shifting fast.
After April’s successful TIC kickoff with Andrew Collinson, where we explored the rise of Intelligent Engagement, we now zoom in on one of the industry’s biggest revenue drivers: messaging.
This time, we’re joined by Nick Lane, Chief Insight Analyst at Mobilesquared – the go-to source for market intelligence in A2P, RCS, and beyond.
Nick will unpack the latest numbers, highlight the slow (or sudden?) decline of SMS, and explore what’s really happening with network APIs and RCS. Is this the next big wave, or still stuck in transition?
In this session, we’ll dive into:
- Is the golden goose of A2P SMS finally under threat?
- Can RCS evolve into a trusted business messaging channel?
- Are telcos ready to monetize messaging via Open Gateway APIs?
- What does Intelligent Engagement look like when applied to messaging?
Expect real data, bold predictions, and a clear-eyed view of what’s next. This is not about buzzwords – it’s about where the money is, and how the messaging game is changing.
The Inner Circle offers exclusive briefings for CPaaSAA members with trusted experts. If you want the strategic edge, this is the place to get it.

My lifetime in IT and telecoms has been dedicated to innovation, building bridges and creating change. From the early days of cloud communications to working with operators on innovations and business development, and currently emphasizing APIs, CPaaS/CX and AI, my journey has been one of continuous evolution.
As founding partner at CPaaS Acceleration Alliance and The Next Cloud I'm privileged to help global telcos and techcos thrive in a fast changing world - through events, community building, strategy and global business development. I thrive on challenges and change, strategizing in cloud communications, and bringing people together for mutual success. Travel and continuous learning are my passions.
I believe the global communications industry is pivoting to prioritize customer experience and impactful solutions over mere technology and platforms, and we can tackle societal challenges by merging the strengths of corporates and innovators within new ecosystems.
