Apt Quotation

Tim O’Reilly, in Microsoft Missing the Boat on Mobile:

The future is not like the past, and any strategy that is designed to protect the past will eventually fail.

Anyone looking at delivering electronic media should think very carefully about what this means. If your business plan relies on delivering your electronic media in an environment that duplicates the limitations of your old physical media as closely as possible, you’re doomed. The same goes, come to think of it, for network providers. If your business plan relies around taking new network technology and making it work exactly the same as your old network… You’re doing it wrong.
