There's a ton of data-dependent apps these days, and with services like
iCloud and
Spotify gaining steam, your precious bytes of data can get bogged down with all the additional traffic. Help is on the way for Verizon customers, however, as the company plans to release an API that will allow users to speed up their connection at will from within apps. This network optimization API will be joined by a microtransaction API (developed in conjunction with Vodafone) to make sure Big Red gets paid for every bit of bandwidth nitro you ask for. Work on the APIs is ongoing at VZW's
Innovation Center in San Francisco, but neither API will be ready for prime time until next year. That's a long time to wait, but the idea of improving our data connection at the press of a button has us positively giddy. What about you?
Verizon to offer APIs to give your data rate an on-demand boost, for a price originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 04 Nov 2011 23:05:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
