[...] What this means The ramifications of this announcement are rather disruptive: - Nokia will increase its control over Symbian, not only through ownership, but also through the governance model of the Symbian Foundation. Previously Nokia was shipping around 70% of Symbian-based devices, but only had just under 50% of ownership. Share of shipments and control (board seats) are now aligned. - Sony Ericsson and Motorola (whatever its fate is) should be adopting S60 and dropping UIQ. That’s a major change, especially for Sony Ericsson who had built 6+ current phone models on UIQ. It’s also a sign for lay offs at UIQ who had been building a team of nearly 400 people in Ronneby and Budapest. - DoCoMo should be replacing MOAP with S60, again a major undertaking for Fujitsy, Sharp and Mitsubishi who had shipped over 60 models to date on MOAP. - Unlike LiMo, the Symbian Foundation will be controlled by a single player, Nokia, based on its ownership of Symbian and the shipment-based assignment of board seats. This governance model is effectively similar to the Open Handset Alliance which is controlled by Google and the WebKit browser core development, which is owned by Apple (although the underlying mechanisms are quite different) - Windows Mobile is the only licensable OS for mid/high-end phones which doesn’t have a consortium-based contribution model and an open-source-like license (apart from selected parts of the Windows CE kernel which are under varying Shared Source licenses). I would expect Microsoft to react in the next quarter by open sourcing more of Windows Mobile - If Android signalled the commoditisation of the mobile operating system business, the Symbian Foundation platform is the nail in the coffin. This will make things rather challenging for many Linux stack vendors (including Purple Labs, Azingo, ALP, WindRiver and Mizi) who charge on a royalty basis. I expect to see revenue models move towards professional services fees from certification, customisation and productisation (see earlier post on open source business models). [...]
