📅 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.

I've spent my career in IT and telecoms building bridges, from the early days of cloud communications to today's reset around APIs, CPaaS and AI.
As Founding Partner of The Next Cloud and CPaaSAA, I help telcos, CPaaS players and AI-native scaleups work out where they fit in the AI era, through strategy, ecosystem building and events.
My view: the value is moving from platforms to outcomes, and real innovation comes from ecosystems, not incumbents acting alone.
