Telefonica Digital is heading to Regent Street

Being based at the bottom of Regent Street right [...]
o2′s innovation team launches international calling card app – love it!
I have to say kudos to the team at o2′s innovation labs. Kudos gents. They’ve created an international calling card application that you can download for your app. It’s a really nice idea — and something that I think most o2 customers who call abroad now-and-again should have on their phone. If you’re a regular [...]
Location ‘holy grail’ features now offered by BlueVia
Now then, for years — YEARS — developers have been crying out for proper location APIs from mobile operators to use. Years.

It’s time for the third episode of our BlueVia Introduction series (kindly supported by BlueVia). This time we hear from BlueVia’s top man, José Valles.

Telefonica’s €350m telecoms deal with Deutsche Post
I imagine that Deutsche Post’s CIO (or similar) sat back a little while ago and thought words to the effect of, “This really is a hassle. 84 different suppliers to manage my telecoms infrastructure.
