Big Bell Dogma: March 2008
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:
- The Tyranny of the SIM
- Blackberry ban in India
- Mobile payments FUD
- IP vs. PSTN
- Verizon Wireless: Open In Name Only?
- Big Bell learning tricks from credit card industry
- Big Bell “whines to FCC: make it easier for us to gain market share”
