Google has now made the long awaited announcement that it would be entering the wireless arena. It was not a product, or “Google Phone” roll-out, but rather the announcement of OHA, or the Open Handset Alliance. OHA(my choice to come up with an acronym as the full name sounds a bit too bureaucratic and almost Orwellian for me to type it a lot) is the next step in the globalization of connectivity and something I have anticipated and expected for a couple of years.
On this blog, and at conferences I point to the fact that it is the cell phone that is the true global technology. I have written about the explosive growth and sheer numbers of devices, of the technological innovation and how the cell phone has found a seat at the table of major media. OHA takes the logical next step which is to break up the walled gardens of carriers and software suppliers. Incompatibility is at odds with a world of ever increasing connectedness. Universality is one of the touch stones of our wireless future. Another is the ongoing commoditization of the entire business pushing costs ever lower for the consumer. OHA will facilitate both of these inevitable trends.
