description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Telefónica Open Gateway. Open Gateway production
  consumption is billed under partner agreements rather than as a self-service consumption product;
  this artifact captures the publisher identity and a generic per-API-call meter pending visibility
  into the partner billing surface.
sources:
  - https://opengateway.telefonica.com/
notes: Telefónica does not publish a public consumption price list or usage-export surface for
  Open Gateway. FOCUS columns capture the publisher identity; the per-call meter is generic until
  partner-side billing detail is reconciled.

      Gateway.

      Swap, etc.), and by operating-country footprint.

      production spend.
