Because seems like Jolla is not going to do it, the world still need one mobile device company, which would make and sell devices with 100% open source operating system.

Newkia (or whatever it will be called eventually) would find a slot on the markets by adopting Replicant Android and fixing the few missing open source issues it has.
Many companies need to find suitable phone to their employees, so company secrets wouldn't leak via NSA to their competitors. NSA has already admitted, it also does industrial espionage. It is BS, they would do it just because potential terrorism. It even is one of the official jobs of NSA to do industrial espionage for USA.

"we can design. We need to figure out how to re-engineer the internet to prevent this kind of wholesale spying. We need new techniques to prevent communications intermediaries from leaking private information.

We can make surveillance expensive again. In particular, we need open protocols, open implementations, open systems – these will be harder for the NSA to subvert."
