Earlier this month, PubMatic shelved its Prebid integration wrapper, known as OpenWrap Web, and announced it would begin recommending Playwire as an offloading-onboarding partner for the 250-odd publishers that use its wrapper.
The news made nary a ripple, and relatively little revenue hangs in the balance. But PubMatic’s decision to hand off its Prebid wrapper to an outside vendor – ostensibly (and previously) a competitor – is an interesting incremental news story for the programmatic industry.
For one thing, it is a reminder of the programmatic pace of change.
