Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CPaaS Strategy from the Inside
Q: What do you think about whether companies should tell customers they are talking to a machine rather than a real person, and how should the human element be balanced in machine-assisted conversations?
The balance will evolve: machine-to-human dialogue will handle routine interactions while humans will remain for complex or nuanced cases, and customers may tolerate robot interactions if the experience is efficient and transparent about when they are interacting with AI. Over time, expectations may shift toward seamless, AI-assisted conversations with live handoffs when needed.
From Fragmentation to Scale- Powering RCS & Network APIs with Number Intelligence
Q: How does ROI translate—are benefits mainly from cost optimization, higher delivery rates, or better conversion?
ROI comes from cost optimization and higher deliverability, with even small improvements in valid delivery having large financial impact due to rising SMS costs; over time, maximizing delivery through channel optimization becomes a key driver.
From Fragmentation to Scale- Powering RCS & Network APIs with Number Intelligence
Q: Where do you see number intelligence making the biggest difference today, particularly for scaling RCS and network APIs?
The biggest difference is in directing the right channel for the right recipient, with SMS still dominant for OTP in many cases, but RCS and network APIs offering easier migration and richer engagement, while pre-flight checks and intelligent routing reduce waste and improve delivery.
A Conversation with the Deputy Mayor of Cape Town-Rugby City Vision, Innovation & Business Landscape
Q: Final question. Are we likely to see Mayor Eddie Andrews?
Yes, if the current mayor does not contest a second term, Eddie Andrews would likely apply for the position, given the rules on consecutive terms for mayor, deputy mayor, and speaker of council.
Market Opportunities and Challenges from a C-Suite Executive Perspective
Q: What is the trend for digital content and payments in 2025-2027?
The ecosystem should focus on content/services aligned with consumer demand, while ensuring a robust, trusted framework that supports diverse payment rails and fair competition among providers.
