It’s about an area I’m very passionate about, and the word open has started to get thrown around in mobile circles with disturbing frequency. Sometimes it’s really justified, other times it’s obvious that it’s being used just to join in the hype currently surrounding the concept of openness. So lets shed a little light on what the difference is between open source, open standards, and open networks. What parts of the movement are new, and what moves are older players just moving themselves out of broken models but trying to appear innovative. We should be able to have a great discussion, there’s a lot of meat to the topic. Hope to see you there!
