British MVNO, Virgin Mobile, has moved its back-end SMS database onto an
open-source MySQL-based platform.
The open-source database system is now being used to process thousands of
queries each second (each individual text message can generate over a
hundred queries), and contains more than 500 GB of data, according to the
carrier.
All applications have been developed internally at Virgin Mobile, based on
a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) platform, and are highly
scalable, particularly during peak usage times.
“The phenomenal growth in the number of subscribers to mobile phone
services has led telecom operators and equipment manufacturers to develop
new modern infrastructures to meet their customers’ needs,” commented
MySQL’s senior director of worldwide telecom sales, Joe Morrissey.
“MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition and MySQL Enterprise are now at the
heart of the solutions implemented by the leading industry players. We are
delighted about this additional endorsement by Virgin Mobile.”

Can I use Linux desktop to access *ALL* the features of my Virgin Mobile
devices including updating the firmware?
If not, why would I want to hammerlock my mobile device?

Hi, 'none of your buisiness':
This is off topic. I found one of your old posts when you were looking
for an html parser. Could you please tell me what did you end up
doing? We are in 2008 and I basically am in the same position... I
don't want to use IE.
Thanks

Good to see you've finally figured out that the year is 2008,
That's a good start.

Why do you care? You continually diss Linux, even though you say you and
your family use it.
