Ondrej Holzman NgoMsombuluko, Julayi 30, impi enkulu yelungelo lobunikazi yaqala ukudlondlobala eSan Jose, eCalifornia - u-Apple no-Samsung babhekene enkantolo. Zombili izinkampani zimangalelana ngamagunya obunikazi engeziwe. Ubani ozophuma njengomnqobi futhi ubani njengohluliwe?
Lonke leli cala likhulu ngempela, njengoba izinhlangothi zombili zenze izinsolo eziningi zodwa, ngakho-ke ake sifinyeze sonke isimo.
Ukuqalisa kabusha okuhle kakhulu okulethwe iseva ZonkeIzintoD, esesiyiletha kuwe manje.
Ngubani owahlulela bani?
Icala lonke laqalwa ngabakwa-Apple ngo-Ephreli 2011, lapho besola abakwaSamsung ngokwephula amanye amalungelo abo obunikazi. Kodwa-ke, abantu baseNingizimu Korea bafake isicelo esiphikisayo. Nakuba i-Apple kufanele ibe ngummangali kanye ne-Samsung ummangalelwa kule ngxabano. Kodwa-ke, inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea ayikuthandanga lokhu, ngakho-ke zombili izinhlangothi zibhalwe njengabamangali.
Baquliswani?
Zombili izinhlangothi zisolwa ngokwephula amalungelo obunikazi ahlukahlukene. U-Apple uthi i-Samsung yephula amalungelo obunikazi amaningana ahlobene nokubukeka nomuzwa we-iPhone nokuthi inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea “ikopisha ngobugqila” amadivayisi ayo. AbakwaSamsung, ngakolunye uhlangothi, bamangalela i-Apple ngamalungelo obunikazi ahlobene nendlela ukuxhumana kweselula okwenziwa ngayo ku-broadband spectrum.
Nokho, amalungelo obunikazi akwa-Samsung aseqenjini lalokho okubizwa ngokuthi amalungelo obunikazi ayisisekelo, okuyisidingo sawo wonke amadivayisi ukuhlangabezana nezindinganiso zomkhakha, futhi okufanele abe ngaphakathi kwemigomo ye-FRAND (isifinyezo sesiNgisi enobulungiswa, enengqondo, futhi engacwasi, okungukuthi okufanelekile, okunengqondo nokungabandlululi) okunikezwe ilayisense kuzo zonke izinhlangano.
Ngenxa yalokhu, i-Samsung iphikisana ngokuthi yiziphi izimali okufanele i-Apple ziyikhokhele ukusetshenziswa kwamalungelo obunikazi bayo. AbakwaSamsung bafuna inani elitholakala kudivayisi ngayinye lapho ilungelo layo lobunikazi lisetshenziswa khona. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Apple iphikisa ukuthi izimali ezikhokhwayo zitholwa kuphela engxenyeni ngayinye lapho ilungelo lobunikazi elinikeziwe lisetshenziswa khona. Umehluko, yiqiniso, mkhulu. Nakuba abakwaSamsung bafuna amaphesenti angu-2,4 yenani eliphelele le-iPhone, i-Apple igcizelela ukuthi ifanele amaphesenti angu-2,4 kuphela eprosesa ye-baseband, engenza u-$0,0049 kuphela (amapeni ayishumi) nge-iPhone ngayinye.
Yini abafuna ukuyizuza?
Zombili izinhlangothi zifuna imali. I-Apple ifuna ukuthola isinxephezelo okungenani samadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-2,5 (imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-51,5). Uma ijaji lithola ukuthi i-Samsung yephule amalungelo obunikazi be-Apple ngamabomu, inkampani yaseCalifornia izofuna okwengeziwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Apple izama ukuvimbela ukuthengiswa kwayo yonke imikhiqizo ye-Samsung ephula amalungelo obunikazi bayo.
Zingaki izingxabano ezinjalo?
Kunamakhulu ezingxabano ezifanayo. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi i-Apple ne-Samsung abamangaleli hhayi emhlabathini waseMelika kuphela. Amaqhude amabili alwa ezinkantolo emhlabeni jikelele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kufanele anakekele amanye amacala akhe - ngoba i-Apple, i-Samsung, i-HTC ne-Microsoft bayamangalelana. Inani lamacala likhulu ngempela.
Kungani kufanele sibe nesithakazelo kulokhu?
Uma sekushiwo, maningi amacala elungelo lobunikazi laphaya, kodwa leli elinye lamacala amakhulu kakhulu ukuya enkantolo.
Uma i-Apple iphumelela ezikhalweni zayo, i-Samsung ingase ibhekane nenhlawulo enkulu yezimali, kanye nokuvinjelwa okungenzeka ukuthi ulethe imikhiqizo yayo ebalulekile emakethe, noma kudingeke ukuba iklame kabusha imishini yayo. Uma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Apple ihluleka, impi yayo yomthetho enolaka ngokumelene nabakhiqizi befoni be-Android izohlupheka kakhulu.
Uma ijaji lingase lihambisane ne-Samsung esimangalweni sayo, inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea ingathola izizumbulu zemali ezivela kwa-Apple.
Bangaki abameli abasebenzayo kuleli cala?
Kufakwe amakhulukhulu amacala ehlukene, ama-oda, neminye imibhalo emasontweni adlule, yingakho kunesibalo esikhulu ngempela sabantu abasebenza kuleli cala. Ekupheleni kwesonto eledlule, abameli abacela ku-80 bavele mathupha phambi kwenkantolo. Iningi labo lalimele i-Apple noma i-Samsung, kodwa abambalwa futhi babengabezinye izinkampani, ngoba, isibonelo, izinkampani eziningi zobuchwepheshe zizama ukugcina izinkontileka zabo ziyimfihlo.
Ingxabano izothatha isikhathi esingakanani?
Icala ngokwalo liqale ngoMsombuluko ngokukhethwa kwamajaji. Izimpikiswano zokuvula zizokwethulwa ngalo lolo suku noma ngosuku olulandelayo. Icala kulindeleke ukuthi liqhubeke kuze kube maphakathi no-Agasti, njengoba inkantolo ingahlali zonke izinsuku.
Ubani ozonquma owinile?
Umsebenzi wokunquma ukuthi enye yezinkampani yephula amalungelo obunikazi yenye iphezu kwejaji elinamalungu ayishumi. Ukuqulwa kwecala kuzokwenganyelwa iJaji uLucy Kohová, elizophinde linqume ukuthi yiluphi ulwazi oluzokwethulwa kumajaji nokuthi yikuphi okuzohlala kufihliwe. Kodwa-ke, isinqumo sejaji cishe ngeke sibe ngujuqu - okungenani eyodwa yezinhlangothi kulindeleke ukuthi ifake isikhalazo.
Ingabe imininingwane eyengeziwe izoputshuzwa, njengama-prototypes akwa-Apple?
Singathembela kanjalo, kodwa kuyacaca ukuthi zombili izinkampani kuzofanele ziveze okungaphezu kwalokho ebezingafisa ukukusho. Bobabili i-Apple ne-Samsung bacele ukuthi ubufakazi obuthile buhlale bufihliwe emphakathini, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngeke baphumelele ngakho konke. AbakwaReuters sebevele beyinxuse inkantolo ukuthi ikhulule cishe yonke imibhalo, kodwa abakwaSamsung, Google kanye nabanye abadlali abambalwa bezobuchwepheshe bakuphikisile.
"I-Reuters isivele ifake isicelo enkantolo ukuthi ikhulule cishe yonke imibhalo, kodwa abakwaSamsung, Google kanye nabanye abadlali abakhulu bezobuchwepheshe bakuphikisile."
Kungani u-Apple engazange akuphikise? Cishe akanawo uhlaka lwamathambo ekhabetheni lakhe?
Nami ngacabanga ngalokho
