Carriers, and Mobile OSs. I found the evil trios not providing what I
wanted and kept thinking I was being painted into a corner.

The issues I bumped into were:
- The handset mfgrs and the carriers all wanted to piss all over Android,
primarily the UI. The handset folks built UIs that were to distinguish
them from others, but succeeded only in having their version of android
have worse battery life.
- So I wanted vanilla
Any smartphone OS for the foreseeable future will be free as in

don't know what the the battery life is on 'standard' android, never

Open source hardware and software can spread quickly to those who want it,
and clearly companies that sell mobile phones do not want it. But there are
enough smart people out there that communities could build the phones they
want. So the issue is coverage. nG should be like WiFi - as open or

There are, he says, some ethical issues here. Well, yeah.
Here's an interesting solution for a unified network in France. All
services (voice, sms, tv, data) plus some new ideas (ID, banking):

Well, it may come to pass that the only thing I have worth anythng will
be my phone, so I'll put it in my wallet and lock it with my keys. For
that matter, nothing will be ON my phone (hey, cloud), the phone's main

I assume you mean 'free kittens' as in free up front but thousands of
dollars in food and veterinary checkups per year for ten plus years?
