Read MoreI remain amazed that Telco API standards are still considered seriously. I've just returned from a quick trip to the Bay Area were I was talking to people who lead the market in APIs, they consider the Telecom industry's perverse need to standardize APIs amusing at best and at worst yet another death knell for the industry.Put simply, Alan Quayle is against standardization of the APIs across telecom companies.

Would you be willing to use a Telco API? What do telcos need to do in order to get you hooked?
