The Internet is the future of mobile, and carriers need to be more selective about the technologies they choose if they want to succeed, Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin said during his keynote speech ate Mobile World Congress.
"Operators need to invest to bring important mobile Internet services to life," he said. "We can't sit back and become bit pipes. The old debates around TDMA, CDMA, and GSM weren't very productive," he said.
Google's emergence in this market has also sparked debate over how many operating systems are needed. Sarin said he didn't care if operators and handset makers use Symbian or Windows Mobile--or Google's Android or the Linux operating system from the Limo Foundation.
"There's no way that an application developer can develop applications for 30 different operating systems. We have to narrow the range."
