My talk at Gartner Symposium 2012 about why the Web is not dead and how Firefox OS will save the Web on mobile and stir competition on mobile browsers as they did on the desktop

1. The Web is dead
Long live the Web

9. And people use Internet in a very different way than
in the desktop, using apps and not the Web

13. Creating new closed ecosystems

November 6th, 2012 13

14. … controlling…

SYSTEMS
THE BROWSERS APPS
THE
ECOSYSTEM
November 6th, 2012 14

15. PROTECT THEIR
CORE
BUSINESSES
November 6th, 2012 15

16. … while preventing others competing
NO FLASH, NO OTHER BROWSERS, NO EBOOK STORES,
NO VIDEO HARDWARE ACCELERATION, etc.
November 6th, 2012 16

17. Why should you care about this?
• High costs of mobile/desktop
development and support due
to fragmentation
• Complex and uncontroled
mobile app distribution
• No instant updates
• BYOD makes it even more
challenging
• Closed is generally bad for
users and consumers, locks
people in specific ecosystems
restricting choice

55. However, HTML5 standards and browser support
needs to improve to reach full potential …
November 6th, 2012 55

56. "When I'm introspective about the last few years I think the
biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is betting too
much on HTML5 as opposed to native... because it just wasn't
there.”
Disrupt, Sep. 2012
November 6th, 2012 56

57. “And it's not that HTML5 is bad. I'm actually, on long-term,
really excited about it. One of the things that's interesting is we
actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web
Facebook than we have using our iOS or Android apps
combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us.”

November 6th, 2012 61

62. At Telefónica we strongly believe that the openess
of the Web is the way forward on mobile
November 6th, 2012 62

63. And at Telefónica we created a project to fix this
November 6th, 2012 63

64. Create Web native devices that fix all those problems
November 6th, 2012 64

65. And in the other side of the world, Mozilla was
having the same idea
November 6th, 2012 65

66. So we joint forces to create Firefox OS, a true Web
OS entirely based on HTML5 from the ground up
November 6th, 2012 66

67. Unleashing the true potential of the mobile Web
unlike other platforms
Mobile phones where everything running is a
mobile web application.
Fastest and most complete performance of
HTML5 and mobile Web apps at low cost
Truly open mobile OS and ecosystem, any
one can participate
