Who am I?

Wireless devices increasingly define who we are, both in the digital and physical worlds. In many ways, the metaverse is here already. Most of us use a phone – and not a card – to show our covid vaccine status. Our digital identity gives us access to services, payments, applications across devices, as well as in the physical world. The one-SIM card, one-phone-one-subscriber model has become outdated. What will replace it?

In this Sparring Partners, Ken Figueredo, More-with-Mobile, and Monica Paolini, Senza Fili, talk about the evolution of our digital identities and how they are shaping our physical identities.

Topics covered:

• Devices/networks: How should we manage identity across devices and networks, and in the physical vs digital worlds?
• Metaverse: What digital assets and identity credentials does the metaverse need?
• Trust: Who should administer digital identities, and can we trust them?
• Mobile operators: How will digital identities affect mobile operators’ business models, innovation, and strategies?
• SIM: Will SIMs still be relevant in a metaverse world?
• IoT: How will we be able to identify and trust IoT devices?
