Strategy report | PPTX and PDF (6 slides) | NaaS Platforms and Infrastructure
"The QoD API has the potential to demonstrate the value of network APIs more broadly, but CSPs must overcome both technological and commercial challenges to fully capitalise on it."
The Quality on Demand (QoD) API is featured on many communication service providers (CSPs) network API strategies. However, adoption is being delayed due to implementation complexity and an unclear business case. To maximise the potential of network APIs, developers should be given easy-to-use control over CSP networks, enabling them to develop new and innovative use cases immediately.
