“Hi, this is Ron Till from Seltra(?). When I think back of last year to GSM I remember a huge high bill for new services. This year NWC(?) was about realisation that user experience is required. The operators have realised that they have to deploy, they have to provide broadband and they have to provide the underlying transmission network to allow these new applications to happen.”

“2 big messages at Millwere(?) Congress SU1, it’s the, the birth of LTE. Lot of companies demonstrating that technology and the next is the move to get data from the radio access network. You need technologies like Network Status Management NSM. If you come, it’s like Amdox(?) and Acticks(?), active in that area. Putting a lot of energy into getting it to out of the radio active network to improve the customer experience all the way back into the core network.”

Barcelona day three and handset operating systems are on the menu. Vodafone frontman Arun Sarin stirred things up with a call for more simplicity among mobile handset OSes. Sarin reckons a handful of platforms is enough to keep the market going.

Vodafone tried this move before, two years ago, when it tried to standardise on three handset platforms - Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux. Thing is, it’s not really three platforms. Symbian itself is split into a handful of different versions - S30, S40, S60 etc. - all of which have very different capabilities. Then of course Linux is fragmented into many, many different flavours and it being pulled in every direction by the various lobby groups like LiMO, LiPS, etc.

Even the handset manufacturers aren’t consistent in their approach, Sony Ericsson announced its first Windows Mobile phone this week and Nokia’s acquisition of Trolltech raises some interesting questions about the company’s approach to Linux.

Then again, what I learned from Trolltech yesterday also raised a question about the difference between a mobile operating system and a suite of web services, as the world’s traditionally ruled by Google and Nokia respectively, collide.

Trolltech said that Nokia’s plan to create an application framework that can be deployed across any platform, combining web-based apps with native ones, puts Nokia on a better footing to go up against Google.

Google’s Android platform, which was also on display at the show, sounds exactly like Nokia’s own initiative, putting the web giant on a better footing to compete with the Finnish firm.
