Big Bell Dogma: October 2007
As we work to build mobility into every product, service, and process, our greatest inhibitor is the mindset represented by those who defend the tethering of products and processes to specific places. This mindset is fueled by the investments that have been made that establish power in the companies, departments, and individuals that stand in the way of mobilizing our lives and our businesses. These investments are not always in hard assets, but often are investments of time and experience to establish intellectual and relational assets. We should expect our assault on these ways to be defended to the death. Here are recent examples:
- Monopolies hurt everyone but the monopolists
- Government price setting, taxation, and unclear regulation can deny the benefits of mobility for citizens
- Closed minded hide behind FUD
- Closed minded hide inside a walled garden
- Mossberg cries: Free My Phone
- Make promises; eliminate competition; break promises
- Recognizing, and eliminating, the power of mobility
Complete list here.
