Nokia Pulls a Microsoft
from the Monoply:-The-Next-Generation dept
When people converge on Vegas for Comdex, strange things are bound to happen. Today a group of
wireless phone companies and carriers joined forces to create a new set of open standards. The details are vague. But the real winner looks like Nokia, who is going to license the software that runs on its phones to other phone companies. Most likely they are referring to the software for ring tones and picture messaging, where they have set the market standard. This is kind of like MS saying Windows is open and they are going to license it to Dell, Compaq, IBM and anyone else who wants it.
