🔴 eSIM Reality Check and Privacy Leak Researchers exposed that many travel eSIMs silently route traffic through foreign carriers and grant unverified resellers carrier-grade privileges. 📡 It arises from eSIM’s remote-provisioning model, shifting trust to cloud resellers and routing paths, where nontransparent intermediaries operate with fewer safeguards, leaving users vulnerable to potential data leaks. Key findings: 🔻 Cross-border routing. Many travel eSIMs send traffic via foreign networks (ex. Holafly via China Mobile), exposing data to other jurisdictions. 🔻 Third-party access. Unverified resellers can view IDs, track location, assign static IPs, revoke profiles etc - without oversight. 🔻 Silent activity. Some eSIMs quietly open data sessions or receive SMS without user notification. 25 travel eSIMs were tested 🔸 Nearly all routed traffic through foreign networks. 🔸 2 showed silent “phone-home” activity. 🔸 2 reseller platforms exposed carrier-level controls to unverified users. Does the eSIM standard itself have security flaws? No, the standard is technically secure. ⚠️ But actual security depends on all ecosystem parties (SM-DP+, eUICC, MNOs, resellers) acting correctly. The risks come from how controls are redistributed in real-world deployments, where governance and enforcement lag. 🙌 Kudos to researchers from Northeastern University - Maryam Motallebighomi, Jason Veara, Evangelos Bitsikas and Aanjhan Ranganathan. #eSIM #TelecomSecurity #MobileSecurity #Privacy #GSMA #CyberSecurity

A significant milestone/way forward was achieved on the approach to 3GPP 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 during 𝐒𝐀#109 meetings in #Beijing, triggered by a multi-company paper highlighting potential improvements that are necessary to enable exposure of 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬. Wireless communications are essential for providing seamless connectivity and connecting people! While 3GPP standards offer very complex capabilties beyond basic connectivity services, it is imperative that such capabilties are exposed to the industry verticals and application developers who can integrate them to their services and #innovate beyond #imagination. As we embark and transition into #6G, I believe this is a step in the right direction that will lead to tighter integration of 3GPP networks with emerging services. Thank you 3GPP and the community for this milestone! #3GPP, #6G, #CapabilityExposure, #Standards, #Change

What happens when your BSS doesn’t just process data… but actually thinks? Imagine a platform where: • Customer interactions can be predicted, recommendations are highly tailored and explainable, • Campaigns can be simulated and tested before launch, • AI agents work around the clock, taking safe, autonomous actions across domains, • New AI capabilities can be built in minutes without coding. This isn’t a concept. It’s here! Read our latest article on Developing Telecoms to discover how Agentic AI and Digital Twins are redefining customer engagement for the AI-native era!

Check out the another enlightening discussion on "Value Seller Talks” with Deepak Bajaj and Babs Osibo on Episode 173. Key Learning from Babs Osibo: Core strengths: Blending vision with execution; leading under pressure; delivering network operations, infrastructure migrations, fiber/wireless rollouts, data center builds, and customer enablement to maximize ROI. #Africa vs. Western world: Significant infrastructural challenges in Africa (power cuts, equipment theft, grid instability) drive contingency-heavy design; the West benefits from stable infrastructure. Resilience in #Africa: Multi-layered power strategies (grid + generator + solar) to achieve “four nines” availability; growing knowledge ecosystems and startups upskilling youth with hands-on tech exposure. Journey to the #USA: Fueled by determination, daily consistent actions toward the goal, leveraging networks and communication; advice centers on vision, mindset, persistence, and faith. Motivation: Passion for technology that simplifies lives, improves efficiency, and drives business outcomes—including profitability. Deepak Bajaj - #India's First Value Seller Mentor on #Mission10K to transform 10K Professionals into First Time #Entrepreneurs.    #learning #telecom #5G #sales #mentor #technology #Telecommunication #ICT #Management #valueseller #bschool #mba #ai #ml #startups #IndustryInsights #valuesellertalks #startupindia #investinafrica #africa #USA #blockchain #India
