Here is an extract from Mordor Intelligence on how internet communications are helping Staples drive sales https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

“Staples used CPaaS as part of its Easy System, a smart-ordering platform, leveraging an IoT-driven virtual assistant that helps organisations manage office supplies.”
You know what is best? $BAND is the only API platform that owns a Tier 1 Network https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌐" title="Weltkugel mit Längengraden" aria-label="Emoji: Weltkugel mit Längengraden"> and provides SIP trunking

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏋️" title="Person lifting weights" aria-label="Emoji: Person lifting weights"> As a network carrier it is able to undercut $TWLO on pricing - Remember that this was first a disadvantage as $TWLO as able to expand further
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete"> But $BAND is now the network provider for major communication enablers such as $MSFT and $ZM
Bandwidth has built and operates its OWN nationwide IP voice network https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📡" title="Satellitenantenne" aria-label="Emoji: Satellitenantenne"> rather then relying on third party carriers like $TWLO

Meaning the company CONTROLS rather than OUTSOURCE its network

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> Better ability to set prices and undercut customers ($ 0.35 per line per month for $BAND vs. $ 1 for $TWLO)
As explained by Bandwidth

“If you equate choosing your API to buying a new car, not only do we own the car dealership, we also built the engine, control the quality of the gas and oil, and can even give you a GPS to find the best route. The other guys are just dealerships [...]”
So… $TWLO is the big fish here right? Well they do not target the same customers https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👥" title="Silhouette von Büsten" aria-label="Emoji: Silhouette von Büsten">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☎️" title="Telefon" aria-label="Emoji: Telefon"> $TWLO targets mobile application developers that just need to integrate voice and messages into their apps
