According to a new report from Business Korea, the Tizen Alliance currently has only four members left – Intel, Samsung, SK Telecom and LG U+. Most of the members of the alliance left one by one as Intel remains the only non-Korean firm in the Tizen Alliance. Fujitsu left the board, while Huawei, KT, NTT Docomo, and Orange Telecom withdrew from the official board members to become advisory board members.
NTT Docomo, which was the most enthusiastic board member of the Alliance back in 2012, currently shows no activities. NEC left the board back in 2014, while Huawei changed its stance by developing its own IoT operating system. Even Intel is showing a lukewarm response in the development process, and it has changed its Tizen manager four times till now.
Samsung has started using Tizen in its smart TVs, refrigerators, smartphones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other home appliances. The company is planning to use the operating system in connected cars and in-car infotainment systems.
