Existing telecommunications networks and classical roles of operators are subject to fundamental change. Many network operators are currently seeking for new sources to generate revenue by exposing network capabilities to third party service providers. At the same time we can observe that applications in the World Wide Web (WWW) are becoming more mature in terms of communications functionality and the definition of APIs that are offered towards other services. The combinations of those services are commonly referred to as Web 2.0 mash-ups.
