BT Web 2.0 strategy suffers a setback

摘要

BT has been forced to drop a key element from its Web21C software-development kit (SDK), the web-services platform that enables anyone to knit features of its network into their own applications. Observers say the situation highlights the uphill battle even progressive tele-coms operators will face in trying to adopt the more open business models of their Internet rivals, such as Google. Earlier this month, BT stopped offering access to an SDK element that enabled users to determine where a person is, using information broadcast from his or her mobile phone.
