About Bandwidth
Bandwidth keeps filling in its global PSTN-replacement map while pushing into phone-number data.
Bandwidth's release notes show two clear workstreams: a steady march of country-by-country PSTN replacement coverage (most recently Brazil, Mexico, and South Korea on the same day) and a build-out of phone-number data and reputation products. This is a genuine product changelog with consistent, if incremental, shipping.
