Business Models: November 2006
As the Mobility Era matures, obviously a key question will be “how to make money?”. I’m increasingly seeing discussions in the blogosphere of business models for the new mobile economy. Since these discussions will be of interest, I’m going to start providing links to these discussions. For now, I think this will probably be a monthly post. I am going to be very inclusive and provide no editorial functions, so don’t take from my selections, ordering, headlines, etc. any indications of the interests or plans of my employer (if you do, you’ll undoubtedly be disappointed when they don’t play out):
