Telco Markets

Funny quote from MuniWireless about the state of telcos

The author slams the telcos for not having their own R&D (unlike Intel or Microsoft) and for being suspicious of new technology. But that’s not really the problem. I think the problem for telcos is that the business of being a telco - charging people a lot of money to move bits (voice bits, movie bits, music bits) - has become a commodity business and the telcos are still behaving as if they were in the designer handbag business.

Very funny. That whole post is a pretty good read as well, some insight into telco maneuvering in europe, my guess is they are about 6 months to a year ahead of us in that domain.
