Innovation through complementary services
• Large growth will (also) come from small, new innovators
– some create value and utility for low volume niches– some have a potential to grow into high volume “killer applications”
• Attracting long-tail players, creating joint value, can be the recipe for sustainable growth
– helping them start
– helping them disseminate and distribute – helping them grow

There is still a large degree of terminal fragmentation

... but a lot of applications on many types of terminal
will open source help?
Conclusions
• Community based collaboration emerging
• Community based involvement of lead/end-users emerging
• Still fragmentation on handsets - but still a lot of services across platforms
• Open source is a central driver for all these issues
• Thank you for your attention
