Recently there was a news on LG from the front page of company's intranet site...
Saying, LG will deliver 2 myTouch devices -company franchise models- in this holiday.
Strangely enough my company, which is obvious no 4, runs a model of "franchise" devices - meaning service provider dictates every things on device design and "OEM" delivers..
don't know how much the service provider can dictate as much in smartphone era as it used to do in past, but this was the way htc grew its US business and smartphone business without its brand... And I heard there has been increasing tensions from htc that they will not do this type of business any more without their brand..
As a little shareholder of LGE...this is such a sad news.. maybe LG can get some volumes? But in this way? The more sad piece is all the comments from employees saying "This is a horrible move for franchise device!" Relating all the bad experiences with LG devices..-.-
It's tough days in Youido?
