Android: Something happened

On iTunes U you can find audio and video from loads of universities. The course "The future of the Internet" from Ramesh Johari from Stanford University dates from 2007. In this fragment he discusses "Network Neutrality" on mobile networks. At the end he tells about rumours that Nokia is developing an open-source Operating System based on Linux and discusses the consequences if that would happen.

"An open platform on which people could develop anything they wanted... It seems to me that's not likely to happen, but it also seems to me it would really be nice if it could happen. I just don't know - given past history - what the economics are that line up with the technology..."



Less than 3 years later we can conclude something did happen - not with Nokia though.
