Telcos can't avoid 'pipe' black hole By Danny Briere, TeleChoice \| Connected Planet \| April 6, 2010 I’ve been involved in the telco industry for longer than I sometimes care to admit. (Reagan was president when I started!) Over the years we’ve seen so many promises from the telcos as they’ve tried to bring innovation to the market. It’s just painful to look back at the graveyard of botched launches. Sure, as long as the telcos launch new capabilities, the early devices will be under tight control, but as we go forward third-party operating systems really control the user experience — the lesson learned from the PC space. Faster, better, cheaper will continue to be a long-term trend from telcos, and that’s just more dumb pipe stuff. When it comes down to the applications of that technology — and the inevitable move to smart phones — the telcos just don’t have as much influence on the process as they (or anyone) would have predicted — and certainly not as much as they’d like. Cont.: ct.pbinews.com [ the list of applications that Danny describes was very well done, a keeper, IMO ... at least for as long as it is still startlingly relevant ;) ] ------
