Does AT&T Finally Get It?
For years, developers have felt that the carriers have been guarding their networks from them. Coming from the open Internet, this initial distrust of developers was frustrating. There is nothing like having a great idea for a cool application and not being able to make your vision come true because the gatekeeper won’t let you through.
Apple was the only company in the world that could break the stalemate. Now AT&T is seeing its data revenues soaring 50% because their customers are able to use some of the cool applications that developers have dreamed of for years.
Better late than never. Pandora’s box is now open, but there should be profit enough for everyone.
