Ajit on Open Gardens: History does not remember the builders of the Silk Road – only it’s travellers and it’s traders ..
“In 2008, we see an industry in turmoil – and in the keynote sessions that dreaded word ‘Bit Pipe’ was mentioned at length….

There may be no going back since iTunes is the billing mechanism for iPhone as I blogged before ”
Brian Dolan at Fierce: Dumb pipe nostalgia at Mobile World Congress “Just as the carriers’ fear of becoming a dumb pipe is one elephant the industry can’t seem to push out of the room”
