Knowledge-sharing between OTTs, telcos to help combat scam: GSMA’s Julian Gorman

NEW DELHI: A knowledge-sharing mechanism between the over-the-top (OTT) companies and telecom operators worldwide, including India, will ensure that no gaps are left in combating scams, said a top executive of GSMA, adding that digital trust will be even more crucial for sixth-generation (6G) technology.

“In Asia-Pacific, we have the ‘Asia-Pacific Cross-Sector Anti-Scam Task Force’ where we bring together not just mobile operators but Google, Meta and others because it is not just about single platforms, but about sharing knowledge across platforms to make sure that we are all acting together to combat scams,” Julian Gorman, head of Asia Pacific at GSMA, told ETTelecom in an interview.
