Can you trust a Chinese company to build a telecoms network?  Apparently not, according to the US House of Representatives.

International telecoms provider Telenor has become the first network partner to join the BlueVia API platform.

BlueVia, created by Telefónica in 2010, helps developers create apps and web services that take advantage of Telefonica’s network APIs. It’ll now make Telenor APIs available on BlueVia as well, giving developers the ability to reach over 450 million customers.

Telefónica Digital has established a new business unit called Telefónica Dynamic Insights, which will work together with research company GfK.

The new unit will provide companies and public sector organisations with analysis based on anonymised information from its mobile networks.
