HP recently announced telecom software that can help service providers tap Web 2.0 to spark growth in wireless revenue. The HP Service Delivery Platform (HP SDP) now includes a virtual “sandbox” in which developers can create new web-based applications (apps), widgets and mash-ups on the service provider’s wireless network.
