There is a ton of information-dependent apps nowadays, and with services like iCloud and Spotify gaining steam, your precious bytes of information can get slowed down with all of the additional traffic. Assistance is at the way for Verizon customers, however, because the company plans to release an API so as to allow users to hurry up their connection at will from within apps. This network optimization API would be joined by a microtransaction API (developed together with Vodafone) to make certain Big Red gets paid for each little bit of bandwidth nitro you ask for. Work at the APIs is ongoing at VZW’s Innovation Center in San Francisco, but neither API should be ready for high time until next year. That’s a very long time to attend, however the idea of improving our data connection on the press of a button has us positively giddy. What about you?
