Thanks for taking this journey with us… Globe Labs Developer Day – It’s all about the APIs November 23, 2013 Greg Igaya New Product Development, Digital Media Consumer Business, Globe Telecom
As a general rule… You cannot use the Charging APIs for physical goods (at least not yet or not directly). You cannot use the APIs for gambling or activities that are considered illegal or “immoral” Use your best judgment in charging, these are now YOUR customers. Malicious intent will not be tolerated. Direct re-sale is discouraged but you can “build on top” of the APIs for new services
For enterprise developers, consultants, freelancers and “the I.T. guy/gal” Feel free to use the APIs in your application. Pay-as-you-go when you or your company use a telco service (sms/voice). Revenue from your blood and sweat or your own customers are your own (of course).
For marketers and advertisers If you want to monetize via ads but using telco services, you can BUT you need the subscriber to give consent. Ad revenue is your own and just pay-as-you-go for any telco service you’re using.
For mobile app developers or folks in the OTT space In-app or charge per download is allowed and encouraged given the small percentage of the population with credit cards. BE FAIR TO YOUR USERS. We assume that you will be able to deliver on your promises.
For traditional VAS developers Your pricing and profit margin are your own choice. Manage telco costs efficiently. Again, BE FAIR TO YOUR USERS. We assume that you will be able to deliver on your promises. Use subscription models cautiously.
