Abstract
There is much interest in the possibility of both wireless and wireline network operators earning new revenues by encouraging the independent application development community to create new, useful ways of exploiting network capabilities; historically such capabilities have been under the exclusive control of the network operator. There are various initiatives supporting this aim through the specifications and promotion of standard application programming interfaces (APIs) that can be used to access these network functions. This paper gives an overview of the main initiatives and examines factors such as developer engagement and policing, that will affect the successful deployment and use of network APIs but that are unrelated to their exact technical specification.
