OPERATOR KEYNOTES CALL FOR OPEN
SYSTEMS
Consumers want to view or access the same content across a
number of devices, and not be restricted by the particular
characteristics of an OS, device or network.
This openness, according to Randall Stephenson, AT&T’s CEO,
should be a powerful message for the mobile industry in terms of
stimulating demand for the capabilities being deployed now by
mobile operators.
“The customer experience will be OS and device agnostic, even
network agnostic,” said Stephenson. “Consumers are not
concerned or preoccupied about which access medium they use -
mobile, fixed or Wi-Fi.
As LTE networks become available, the cloud becomes a reality
and the overall technology matures, the customers’ expectation
for an open and seamless environment is only going to increase.”
