The Sun Sets on Intelligence

Jonathan Shwartz on 3GSM and why it's so much more important than Comdex proves that Intelligence is not in Sun's vocabulary. Proving that large companies insist on not only not learning from history but actually insist on repeating previous mistakes.

I am delighted that Solaris is doing well in telecom networks; here's hoping that telco hardened Linux doesn't commodotize a non-commodity product. Also really happy that lots of guys are writing stuff in a Java variant for cell phones. For which Sun of course earns.......ah yes nothing.

Sort of reminds one of J2EE. J2EE's network equivalent is JAIN, and there's a reasonable chance that I have mentioned that before. When the likes of Vodafone decide that JAIN is ready for the edge of network then its probably time to take notice. Except of course its not Sun who is paying attention.

It's all very well writing the spec, but why waste the time doing so if it only empowers your competitors to eat your lunch from your own lunch box.
