Noticed the "freedom" in the URL? Does that mean something?
The Hicksdesign tweet also says something about the convenience of having "a connection wherever you are" = Freedom?
I don't know, but here is what I think:
Opera is already serving millions of mobile users through their proxy servers. I think there is support in the upcoming version of Opera(v10) to connect to the web though the proxy server. Now they certainly would want to monetize this traffic. What would they do?
Give internet connection for free (using some USB device) and then serve ads. But how does this USB device connect to the servers? May be they have made a tie up with some telecom majors.
Of course, this is also a speculation , just as ridiculous as the OP.
- lucumo 17y agoOpera 10 Beta has built-in support for Opera Turbo. I think those are the proxy servers you're referring to. They speed up page loading by gzipping pages and downgrading the quality of images. One of my friends suggested it might just be the release of Opera 10.
