Making networks accessible to application developers
How can the network industry enable application developers to enrich the experience of their enterprise and consumer customers? Today’s 5G-era networks have exciting new features and capabilities that have not traditionally been made available to 3rd party developers to access. But with a combination of flexible programmability and an evolved willingness on the part of the Communications Service Provider community to open their networks, we find ourselves at an exciting crossroads.
