Microsoft has launched the Connected Services Sandbox, a new programme designed to unite independent software vendors (ISVs), developers, systems integrators (SIs), network equipment providers (NEPs) and telecommunications service providers in developing and testing new compelling communications services and, ultimately, bringing these new services to market. The Sandbox will encourage the creation of "managed network mash-ups" in which web services are combined with traditional telecommunications offerings, and then can be offered through the Software as a Service (SaaS) model and delivered across virtually any type of network or device.
More information about participation in the Connected Services Sandbox is available by visiting http://www.networkmashups.com.
