Firefox OS on the ZTE OpenFirefox OS on the ZTE OpenPosted Sep 6, 2013 17:14 UTC (Fri) by b7j0c (subscriber, #27559)In reply to: Firefox OS on the ZTE Open by roc Parent article: Firefox OS on the ZTE Open
but thats only the start. where are your retail outlets? your carrier promotion and support? who is zte? everyone has heard of samsung. they have name-brand recognition, they have shelf space and sales kiosks. it all matters. i'll be shocked if i ever see a firefox or ubuntu phone at any wireless store in the US, let alone foreign markets.
and how do you get everyone in the mix to make space for a firefox phone? its an inferior product. people will make room for something better...but this isn't it

Why everyone assumes revolution should start in the US? US is actually the last place you want to do that (unless you are huge American company, at least). It's market is completely controlled by carriers, you need to spend literally years to convince them to do anything for you and time is running out. There are markets where it's much, much easier to sell new types of phones (India, Russia, to some degree China, maybe some African countries). This is one of the few things which Mozilla does right. Elop for some unfathomable reason decided to mount "attack on the US", lost China and the rest of the world and failed miserably in doing anything in US, too, Mozilla's people are not so dumb.
