I've been having an ongoing beer/sms/email discussion with Jan Signell, Ericsson President in Taiwan (and a pretty good bass player), about the killer business model for the mobile content business.

This was my most recent addition:

"Me, the more I work in this industry, I think the business model is just like a big cow. For music guys, the cow is going to squirt out golden milk everywhere.
For carriers, they'll rent you some grass to park your cow along with 50 others.
For tech guys, the cow will eat 2.32 hectare of grass a day.
For media guys, they convince us they can mate the cow with a horse.
For us, we're the ones who clean up all the cow shit."

I see the real money in the bottling industry...

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
