"[Sprint's] latest move is a browser-based platform, called Browser-VAS, which helps developers to create value added services that target multiple device types and operating systems...
The carrier is providing a welcome boost for Openwave, which was a pioneer of mobile browsing but sold this business two years ago to focus on SaaS (software as a service) offerings for operators. Its Integra scripting engine lies at the heart of Browser-VAS, which provides tools for apps that execute within the browser, within the network, or in the cloud. In the first half of next year, Sprint will add a storefront for these products, which will bring the look and feel of the familiar download app stores to the cloud."
