Re: [osol-discuss] Mobile broardband world

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.
