Smart move by VF. With standardisation failing miserably (OMA, GSMA, etc.), doing something is better than doing nothing and letting the OEM’s scoop up all the revenue. It is indeed, as you say, their weapon to defend themselves from becoming the dumb pipe. They should however, not lose sight of that other weapon, customer relationship management……. Definitely a weapon that is still under used and under valued, and under developed!

instead of trying to unify the distribution platform, these people are continuously fragmenting it. this is not a good thing.

Both BT and Vodafone have been on this track for sometime; but exposing the billing platform is quite a bold step from Vodafone and should give results. BTW there is a typo in the heading – should be “to open up”
