Big Bell Dogma: April 2010
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:
- Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg ‘Studies be damned’ yet refuses to see facts
- Are The New Apple App Store Terms Illegal?
- Smartphone apps moving into regulatory gray area
- Google: 3 Big Telcos Reach For Their Guns
- AT&T More Upset About Stupid Analyst Report About Its Network Than Actual Network
- Verizon: Here’s the Truth About Sprint 4G
- The Real Reason Skype’s App For Verizon Phones Won’t Work On WiFi
- The incumbent telcos’ attack on YouTube looks like a suicide pact
