Posted on by Andrea Putnam-Moorcroft

Global Carrier Billing and Mobile Payments Summit 2026 Amsterdam with aimm speaking on 2 panels

Are you at the Global Carrier Billing & Mobile Payments Summit in Amsterdam today?

Looking at the agenda and deciding what to go and see?  Then we recommend two afternoon sessions for your diary:

The Carrier as Content Distributor – From Billing Rail to Strategic Partner

Start time: 14:30 (CEST)

End time: 15:00 (CEST)

Audio/video streaming, gaming and digital subscriptions remain among the biggest DCB use cases globally, but the panel now broadens beyond the “classic” streaming/gaming lens to include an established-but-resurging model: broadcaster interactive competitions (call-in/text-in/app-based TV competitions monetized via carrier billing and micropayments).

AIMM brings this Broadcast Competition Success Story to the panel as a proof point that carrier billing’s oldest content use case is still commercially relevant alongside streaming and gaming. EE and Telefónica broaden the operator perspective across markets. Together, this gives the panel a fuller picture of how how carriers are evolving from passive billing infrastructure into active content distribution and co-creation partners in 2026.

followed by:

Consumer Trust is the New Currency: Reframing the Future of DCB

Start time: 15:00 (CEST)

End time: 15:30 (CEST)

Growth is no longer driven only by acquisition performance. It now depends on billing clarity, transparent communication, simple cancellation mechanisms, visible customer support and high-quality post-sale experiences capable of reinforcing consumer confidence over time.

The future of carrier billing will therefore likely belong to the ecosystems capable of balancing seamless monetization with visible consumer protection and trust-driven operational practices. The long-term sustainability of DCB ecosystems increasingly depends on their ability to demonstrate that users remain informed, reassured and in control throughout the entire experience.

AIMM Joanna Cox will be taking part in both of these valuable panel discussions that put the importance of DCB for business at the heart of the conversation. Bookmark the times, to get the fuller picture of what DCB can do to help build a sustainable business.
