Firefox OS will also be supported by Sony, Huawei and LG. The Mozilla project has managed to attract a lot of media attention lately and it is no wonder since large operators are showing their interest in promoting devices with the open source operating system. All the ingredients are beginning to come together so that the bet becomes a reality and the appointment of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona could mean its first great milestone.
More and more operators are getting involved in the project and supporting it. First of all, there is the Spanish Telefónica and Deutsche Telekom but other important ones from Asia, Europe, the United States and Oceania have shown their interest and commitment to the project.
A fundamental support will be that of América Móvil, possibly the most important operator in Latin America, which could be produced in a few days in Barcelona. And it is that emerging countries will be the initial target for Firefox OS telephony, given that in developed countries the commercial deployment of iOS and Android is brutal and even Microsoft has problems discussing a space.
But in addition to the support of the operators, it is also interesting that there are manufacturers involved. The participation of the Spanish Geeksphone is very valuable, but they were only developer models. Until now we had only known about ZTE projecting a business model for this OS. Is named ZTE Mozilla and we will also see it in Barcelona. Although interesting it would still be insufficient to consider a total viability of the project. That is why the news that they bring us on the Internet is so important that they tell us that the three important companies Sony, Huawei and LG will bet on devices with Firefox OS.
The new Linux-based open source operating systems are having a glorious month and it seems that the competition towards the freer side of Android is growing and growing now that Google's project is global and threatens to become dominator.
