Canonical has announced today the Carrier Advisory Group for Ubuntu Touch/Phone...

...Deutsche Telekom...

We're screwed ...

At least that's a really big player as opposed to the other companies.

Should have made full-linux phone with sense of ubuntu all over the place.

Instead we get Ubundroid, powered by controversal *peace* and sarcastic *unity*.

At least that's a really big player as opposed to the other companies.

This pinky-stinky big-player recently tried to limit DSL flatrate to several GiB per month and start throttling the lines to 386 kilobit... Except own video services.
Now, after public protest of 10K crowd they proposed a throttling to 2 Mbit (from usual 16 or 100).

Its no less crapsodic than Verizon and co.

I'm starving for firefox os and ubuntu touch to dominate markets :P Firefox os programming just involves html/css/javascript while ubuntu touch the all mighty C++ instead of bloated java or nasty objective-c syntax

This is unusual? I wish I only got shaped to 386kbps. It's 256kbps here, although it used to be 64kbps so I guess things have "improved."

Has there been any statement from Ubuntu about whether their Ubuntu Mobile platform will have a convergence function similar to what was planned for Ubuntu for Android?
This is something that I really want to see any company put out.

It's also good to see that Ubuntu is getting some traction in the carrier game, I just wish that they had less competition from that DoA platform Tizen, I don't even think the developers understand what their platform is targeting.

Yeah, maybe they will. The subjugated masses, however, will be replacing one master with another.

I am not sure about Ubuntu, but this is planned for Plasma Active.
