A wake up call or observation a storm is approaching? This is also blogged on the same subject:
In 2008 Dr Alastair Brydon, Analysys Mason Associate Dr Mark Heath, Analysys Mason Associate published research on wireless network traffic 2008-2015. In essence this research backs independent research published this month of forecasts of unprecedented usage of mobile data services significantly, driven by the rapid take-up of smartphones, such as the 3G iPhone, and of plug-and-play USB (HSPA) modems. Currently opensolaris does not support hot plugging of mobile phone dongles despite warnings from BSC consulting UK that Opensolaris cannot expect mainstream mobile adoption by major OEM or new adopters without meeting this customer minimum requirement. Given that Oracle has announced the completion of its take over of Sun later summer 2009 there is some uncertainty not of the continued development of the opensolaris community but the ownership and strategy post Oracle takeover. It is hoped that new leadership of the Opensolaris community will focus on what OS attributes need to be developed as a matter of urgency to increase adoption rates. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
