Linux Foundation: netbooks will be bundled with telecom services

Article title: Linux Foundation: netbooks will be sold together with telecom services. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

On August 30, July 27, Jim Qi, executive director of the Linux Foundation, said on Friday afternoon that PC users will soon receive PC as mobile phones: subsidies provided by telecom operators and free hardware products.

According to foreign media reports, Qi said in a speech that the PC industry will also see a trend like the mobile phone industry, that is, the user selects a telecom operator to obtain a PC with data services bundled for free. AT&T, an American mobile operator, has provided a netbook in this way, and the price is only USD 50.

Qi Yun elaborated on his free PC plan in an interview last week based on Linux netbooks. "The reason why the U.S. mobile phone industry rapidly rose in the 1990 s is free mobile phones ". According to Qi Yun's idea, the operator can provide a Linux netbook and open an app store. the netbook manufacturer can also open its own app store.

Qi Yun stressed the importance of using Linux in multiple systems and Linux has changed the operating system market structure. "At present, everyone uses Linux multiple times a day ", linux is used for laptops, Google search services, and other systems.

Qi said that mobile phones and PCs have begun to integrate and provide many identical functions. The price of PCs is even lower than that of mobile phones. "The iPhone is very similar to PC ".

Linux also benefited from the recession, and customers will pay more attention to cost reduction during the recession. With the approval of GPL by Microsoft and other vendors, Linux will overcome potential legal obstacles.
