Many articles are touting 2009 as the year where open source mobile and open mobile (yes, there is a difference!) operating systems will mature. I seriously doubt that: the hype is far from over, there have been no failures yet, and I have not seen any merger and acquisitions yet.
There is no such thing as “Dumb Broadband Pipe”. The worst thing video service providers can do is petitioning a Network Neutrality.
A recent article was about open mobile device platforms such as Android, but you see similar trends in the fixed world: eHomeUpgrade has a nice series of reports on Online Home Video Delivery that includes Apple, Microsoft, Sony, and Netflix.
Android will also pull video onto mobile platforms such as the iPhone SDK or Google’s Android, but first successful commercialization of services will more likely come from hardware vendors than from current Web2.0 applications.
