The Wholesale Applications Community
The Wholesale Applications Community is an open global alliance made up of the world’s largest mobile phone network operators and manufacturers and is dedicated to making life easier for developers to create and distribute compelling digital content.
WAC was formed to help standardise the mobile applications ecosystem by leveraging its group scale to introduce global initiatives to help simplify the submission, distribution and settlement processes for developers.
As well as developing and distributing a web-based run time that runs across different mobile operating systems, WAC has built a centralised submission repository that allows developers to submit applications once and have them distributed globally via WAC member operator and OEM managed storefronts.
Additionally, WAC is defining a set of OS-agnostic network APIs that will allow developers to create more compelling applications and monetise their content across a range of platforms and technologies, including Android, HTML5 and Flash.
WAC is a ‘not for profit’ organisation committed to delivering innovative developer tools based on industry-standard web technologies that allow developers to maximise revenue, reach and usage
