Stay two steps ahead in wireless & mobile. Anticipate and discount hype. Predict real-world constraints on new technology. Start fixing the problems before they become obvious. Define your real addressable market. Dissect the explicit & implicit assumptions Look at the whole mobile value chain - from handsets, to networks, via silicon, applications & spectrum.

A few Disruptive Opinions.... For more, click here

• Multiplicity is more important than convergence - multiple numbers, multiple devices, multiple identities, multiple service providers.

• Mobile applications should be bearer-aware, not bearer-agnostic. This is a fatal flaw in IMS.

• Network neutrality will generally be guaranteed by market forces rather than regulation

• Context is more important than content.

• There is no mobile Internet. Just The Internet. Laptops & large-screen mobile devices are critically important.

• Almost nobody will 'have their first experience of the Internet on a mobile phone'.

• Motion sensors in handsets will become indispensably important for users, operators and software developers.

• Mobile operators will relax their 3G data plan terms-of-service and permit VoIP traffic

• Metropolitan WiFi is a near-useless proposition.

• Despite new allocations, the mobile industry will be more spectrum-constrained in the future & this will define business models.

• Smartphones have little appeal to the 70% of global mobile users on prepay tariffs.

• SMS will not disappear and be replaced by Mobile IM

• VoIPo3G will grow faster than VoWLAN, for both carriers & independent providers.

• Mobile search is largely pointless.
