If you are the sort of person who enjoys deep thinking about the future of the telecom business, it always makes sense to listen to Martin Geddes. Here's a new presentation he's worked up. The formal topic was how to deal with over the top apps.
As has been the case recently, Martin's thinking about access as a trading space figure prominently into the analysis of what's wrong, and how to fix it.
What I also found significant was Martin's thinking about what others might call value-based pricing. And that means "network neutrality," such as policies that forbid offering consumers class of service or quality of service mechanisms, will doom access providers to an unprofitable future.
