I hadn't heard of WAC before. WAC's about page makes it sound like an app store and a set of APIs [1]. Whatever that actually means, WAC has backing by a lot of big companies [2].

- gnaffle 15y agoIt seems like the Big Telcos attempt at doing what Apple did with the App Store. Their biggest fear have always been to be reduced to a "dumb data pipe", which is basically what has happened now with the iPhone and Android (notice how Apple and Google are not participating members :) You can be sure that WAC will be prominently featured on any handset where the operator has any influence. Maybe it will work, or maybe it will be the next WAP, time will tell.
