European operators to meet next month; may build new OS
Four of Europe’s biggest mobile carriers, serving roughly 1 billion European customers, are holding a summit on October 8 to discuss the threat posed by Android and iOS. That threat lies in the carriers’ inability to nickel-and-dime customers using such platforms, user experience or openness be damned.
Look forward to an announcement of a new, carrier-led mobile OS, complete with home-screen advertising and per-use charges on core applications.
