Mozilla has announced that Firefox OS will soon debut in Africa.
The Firefox OS niche has gained support from three new key
partners in the region namely Airtel, MTN South Africa and Tigo, operated by
Millicom. The three mobile operators will be the first carriers working with
Mozilla to soon bring first Firefox OS smartphones to Africa.
“We are proud to
see that with Airtel, MTN South Africa and Tigo, Firefox OS gains additional
support to soon extend the Firefox OS footstep into Africa”, says Rick Fant, Mozilla’s VP Planning and Ecosystem. “The continued growth of Firefox OS holds
great promise for enabling millions more people to access the mobile Web at an
affordable cost, while helping to remove control points in today’s closed mobile ecosystem.
Firefox OS is the first device platform built entirely to open Web
standards, with every feature developed as an HTML5 application, meaning its apps open like web pages making it very flexible to customize and even run smoothly in other operating systems like android and ios. Its
flexibility, scalability and powerful customization empowers users, developers
and industry partners to create customized mobile experiences.
As of today, Firefox OS has launched with local partners in 25
markets across Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia. With the upcoming
move into the African region, Firefox OS will soon be available in five
continents.
