Thereâs a reason smartphones are locked down

,----[ Quote ]
| Handset manufacturers and operators like Linux phones
| for lots of reasons. They like open source for lots of
| reasons. But for an industry that contributes as much
| to UK GDP as the oil and gas industry, few of those
| reasons are connected with the philosophy of openness
| that draws developers like Cyanogen.
