5 Testimonials Kaoru Kato - President and CEO NTT DOCOMO, INC. As a fully participating member of GSMA, NTT DOCOMO has been proactively contributing toward sharing and discussion of future strategy for the industry and other pertinent topics. For instance, we have endorsed the strategic initiatives driven by the GSMA, and in that we were among the first to commercialise the Embedded euicc for M2M devices based on the GSMA Embedded SIM. We are also actively pursuing the discussion on future roaming with VoLTE, as well as promoting trial activities. These activities are not only for creating our own business opportunities - they are also enabling us to play a key role in the development and innovation of the mobile industry as a whole. We believe this was made possible by joining GSMA, who provides resources and venues for strong collaboration among operators. Silvio Kutic - Founder and CEO Infobip We joined the GSMA way back in 2008 and since then, new perspectives and new opportunities to contribute to global telecoms initiatives keep opening up. Participation in GSMA Working Groups allowed us to share and improve highest-level technical knowledge of telecoms, which we were able to apply immediately and boost the mobile ecosystem. Looking forward, we hope to work even more in the constantly expanding space for cooperation created by our friends at the GSMA.
