In this case global support means the multi-national mobile telecoms of industrialized nations. In other words, all the mobile providers scared of a world where Apple, Google, and Microsoft call the shots and squeeze the profit margins that used to be protected by government bandwidth licensing. On the other hand, I have a hard time comprehending how a platform like Mozilla that's slow enough on desktops can make headway in the mobile space. Clearly WebKit is ahead of the game and is open source as well. I'm reluctantly using Mozilla on the desktop. HTML5 technology is the future of browsing for sure but lets not turn it into the Java of mobile technology. Native apps have a proper place just by virtue of the performance gains. Putting everything on HTML5 is not only expensive in terms of bandwidth but also processing power, therefore a battery drain. The bandwidth and more importantly the battery are the Achilles heel of mobile. Also, where does this leave developing countries that are far behind and mainly surviving on WAP phones? I just find the framing of this press release as nothing but unwarranted hyperbole that is more an corporate alliance where your enemy's enemy is your friend.
