Original BREW announcement re: purpose and vision:

BREW's development was justified the day that VZ saw the ARPU ramp attributable to early BREW subs and sped up their deployment of EV-DO. This forced Sprint to follow suit and screwed the plans of Nokia/TXN/Motorola hoping for the EV-DV upgrade path.

However, those hoping that BREW would drive significant revenues or make Q into a "software titan" (Gilder's words) have been sorely disappointed.
