Eric--

standards...de jure as well as de facto

While it's easy to slough off CC's view of a closed architecture for, say, iMode as one way a discontinuous innovation becomes introduced and disseminated, that makes the initial difference between open/closed one of timing and where the innovation is in the TALC.

What confused me in CC's presentation was what came later--after initial acceptance. He seemed to imply that DoCoMo could later operate within a closed system quite effectively since that self-containment was elastic--tempered by growing alliances/partnerships. This would make it a de jure standard, I suppose, when the numbers of partners reached critical mass. But I have been working under the assumption, perhaps wrongly, that for an architecture to be open, it had also to be a de facto standard.

So you've hit the crux of my confusion with CC's 3G remarks.
