If the Web is the platform, then what is the SDP?
Antonio Manzalini, Roberto Minerva, Corrado Moiso · 2009
The richness of functions and the availability of data make the Web the real service platform. Telecomm operators are using an old approach to a new All-IP infrastructure. This enables the WebCos to become the major Service Providers of next generation networks. TelCos should instead use the Web APIs and the cloud computing infrastructure to build services. They should also provide interworking functions between NGN and the old infrastructure as Enablers in order to leverage their assets. Finally TelCos should open up data interfaces and by starting immediately data mining their data bases.
