Question

Pakpao has been asked to provide research regarding a new company initiative to add Android smartphones to a list of approved devices. One of the considerations is how frequently the smartphones receive firmware OTA updates. Which of the following reasons would Pakpao NOT list in his report as a factor in the frequency of Android firmware OTA updates?

A. Both OEMs and wireless carriers are hesitant to distribute Google updates because it limits their ability to differentiate themselves from competitors if all versions of Android start to look the same through updates.

B. Because many of the OEMs had modified Android, they are reluctant to distribute updates that could potentially conflict with their changes.

C. Wireless carriers are reluctant to provide firmware OTA updates because of the bandwidth it consumes on their wireless networks.

D. Because OEMs and wireless carriers want to sell as many devices as possible, they have no financial incentive to update mobile devices that users would then continue to use indefinitely.

Answer 1

The answer is "Option C"

• Option A and Option B both were wrong because it provides a relationship between the computer and IT producers, that's why it is wrong.
• In option D, This is not a sale of as many smartphones as possible, it has no motivation for mobile apps to be updated and used continuously by customers.
