The second operating system hiding in every mobile phone
I’ve always known this, and I’m sure most of you do too, but we never really talk about it. Every smartphone or other device with mobile communications capability (e.g. 3G or LTE) actually runs not one, but two operating systems.

Do you remember Napster? We're still seeing the impact of the original peer-to-peer file (read: music) sharing program today. According to Paul Gardner-Stephen, the power of music labels has diminished dramatically as a result of these kinds of activities. In fact, has been re-distributed to the people.

Paul has explored what is essentially a #Napster equivalent that will compete with the #mobile telecommunication giants. He believes that the advent of powerful, programmable, #portable digital #devices (e.g. #smartphones) are a key factor in this eventual #democratisation of mobile #telecommunications
