Maybe Jolla should try to setup small-scale grass-roots NFP distribution rings in all countries via their Maemo/MeeGo et al fans? Until such time as big telcos/resellers & retailers start to bite, then they could get those rings to ease-off, so they don't diffuse interest. To be more explanatory, I mean individual(s) or team(s) would sell dozens (possibly more) of the phones /month to the public. This would be done on a informal basis, & all proceeds from sales would go back to Jolla, they would take no cut...* I'm not sure of the legalities of this in my own country, let alone the many others, it may not even be possible to register as a NFP. It probably only need be done in countries where big telcos/resellers & wholesalers/retailers are persistently showing 0 interest. If there's 1x of each of the following showing interest: telco, telco_reseller, wholesaler, & retailer, then x country could be scratched. I imagine this would be tricky to do, as you can't trust everyone to behave ethically, but, it might just help stimulate things in the right way. I guess you could have a more commercial model, but I think that could get messier, & harder for Jolla to extricate itself from LT. Thoughts? *Jolla could also have a method for determining a quota of free phones it gives to devs/public in x country each mth for x period
