Wednesday March 05, 2008 Open Sourcing the Vast Wasteland
Remember when Sun said the company was open sourcing its Java implementations to take the Java platform into places it couldn't otherwise go? Places where open source and free software are a prerequisite for consideration?
How does a whole nation's digital TV infrastructure, serving nearly 100 million TVs grab you? And thats just the start! Java technology will be at the heart of Brazil's new digital TV standard. And it wouldn't have happened if Java was not Free software.
Countries in the developing world demand open source solutions to bring advanced technology within reach of their citizens, while maintaining control of their economic destiny. As Free software, Java is positioned to be a foundation for initiatives such as Brazil's SBTVD. Where will Java go next? Anywhere in the world!

After several years of resistance, I have finally surrendered to modernity: last week I bought a mobile phone.
