From The Article: -- With Boot to Gecko, carriers would have an open operating system, based on an open browser and framework, with a truly open Marketplace. Carriers could create their own Open Web Marketplace and populate it with their own apps, and create their own rules. They could brand the OS and load it up with as much or as little bloatware as they like. With B2G, carriers would once again be in control. -- Wait a second.. they think it's a good thing that the carriers can create their own walled gardens with this new OS? That's the most absurd thing I have ever heard. While Google/Apple have their own barriers they are nothing compared to what the phone industry had in place pre-iPhone. Before the iPhone/AppStore/Android you could not even use the GPS that was built into your device unless you paid $10 per month, any apps that even remotely affected carrier revenue were blacklisted (Free SMS etc..) Sorry but I would rather deal with Google or Apple's walled gardens than the prisions we were in before.
