The bottom line?
Just as MP3 files and digital music distribution has changed the market place for the recording industry, so to decentralised digital mobile communications is on the verge of similarly disrupting the mobile telecommunications industry, by similarly adding value to the everyday experience of many people.
The question is, will the mobile carriers see the opportunities that change brings, or will they work against their own interests by failing to embrace the change?
Only time will tell.
