Zong Developer Network launch @ CTIA (Vegas)
That’s it! After months of dev and a lot more behind the platform, we’re proud to announce the availability of the Zong Developer Network (ZDN)!
What is it?
The 1st developer network that allows anyone to bill and deliver content to 500+ million mobile subscriber across the US and Europe.
What’s so cool about it?
Well, first of all the brand new Zong API (ZAPI) is übercool! And yes, we remain very objective on this. It’s simply the first web-centric API that puts and end to what used to be a closed, complicated and almost inaccessible premium mobile world. Over and beyond the ease-of-use of the API, we’ve thrown in some goodies for developers. One of them is a sandbox that allows testing of services across the 60+ connected carriers as if you had a subscription and local coverage for each of these. So you can basically be in Tucson, and test and launch a service in Oslo, Norway without ever leaving your workstation or contacting any of the 3 carriers there.
Who does it target?
Mostly Web developers and companies. We truly believe mobile is the next big thing in monetizing web traffic and that it will become as big as advertising in the very near future. We’re now making it possible. VC-backed Web startups that have tried launching premium mobile services before know what I mean. After deciding to launch a mobile service, try going to your Board and tell them you need 5 developers working for 6 months and an additional 3 folks to take care of carrier certification and coordination, naturally all this driving your focus away from your core product… All this is now history. One developer and one day is enough to launch your premium mobile service across the US and Europe. The next day, you’ll be earning revenues from your users.
