Big Bell Dogma: September 2009
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:
- Recording Industry, Japanese Gov’t Work To Break Your Mobile Phone If You Listen To Unauthorized Music
- Content Owners Force Hulu To Block Mobile Browsers As Well
- Apple Rejected Google Apps Because They Were Better
- Cheers, jeers greet Genachowski’s push for net neutrality
- AT&T’s 3G MicroCell does unlimited calling, but it ain’t cheap
- AT&T to Google: So You Wanna Be a Phone Company?
- New Zealand to Ban Mobile Phone Based Navigation Systems While Driving
- Free iTunes!
