“I am certain that the mobile telecoms world will count its time in two Eras. The Era BI: time Before the iPhone, and the ERA AI: time After the iPhone,” writes Tomi T Ahonen, co-author of book, Communities Dominate Brands, who believes that even media business should be very very worried about iPhone.”
His five reasons:
- A true web applications platform for the mobile.
- Break the Wireless Walled Gardens.
- Shift of control to the customers.
- Slow demise of subsidized, boring phones filled with bloat ware.
- Keep it simple or else.
