Telecom API Market 2019 Trends, Size, Segment and Industry Growth

Application Programming Interface (API) is a programming language used by an application to communicate with the control programs such as database management systems or communication protocols. Telecom APIs allow carriers to pass valuable data to third parties, which they monetize on an asymmetric basis as typically mobile network operators do not provide services to end-users. The global telecom API market is segmented on the basis of types of API, user type, and region.
