# Carrier Community Podcast: Beyond SIMs and SMS—Entitlements
NetLync’s CEO featured on the 5G Talent Talk podcast, discussing the impact of entitlements technology on the telecom industry. In this episode, Emir covers his career journey and NetLync’s mission, the unique value of Entitlements-as-a-Service® compared to traditional solutions, and practical advice for tech startups.
[NetLync](https://www.netlync.com/)'s CEO & Founder, Emir Aboulhosn, recently was featured in Carrier Community's latest [CC Podcast](https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/carriercommunitygmailcom/episodes/Emir-Aboulhosn-beyond-SIMs-and-SMS-e341qb5?%24web_only=true&_branch_match_id=1333750416046365485&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXLy7IL8lMq0wuSk0syS8q1i1PTdJLLCjQy8nMy9ZP1fc09jbPKHIrNA1Jsq8rSk1LLSrKzEuPTyrKLy9OLbL1AapKTfHMAwCNd%2BZjTgAAAA%3D%3D&utm_campaign=web-share) — “Beyond SIMs and SMS”. As SMS declines and eSIM rises, carriers adopting this tech are future-proofing their networks and delivering a superior user experience. The future of telco is cloud-native, secure, and user-first.
