A lot of open and neutral API (Application Programming Interface) have been created in recently years which were designed to facilitate access to the functionality of telecommunications networks.
Organizations 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) started joint work on assumptions of new service architecture called Open Service Architecture (OSA). Also Sun Microsystems designed specification of their own interface for telecommunication sector called Java APIs for Integrated Networks (JAIN).
Finally, organizations Parlay Group and ETSI with 3GPP focused joint efforts on designing unified interface Parlay/OSA for telecommunication sector which support concept of developing new service platform for telecoms.
