Stupid Network. This is one of those classic articles written by Dave Isenberg five years ago about how the basic telco assumptions aren’t valid anymore.
I’ll be a little contrarian in a day when essentially every startup carrier is in bankruptcy and say that the trend is still in the direction the he talks about. A great piece

Will do!
np. if you haven’t already looked up the info it’s send an email to isen@isen.com and tell him why you think the newsletter would be of interest to you.
Thanks for the note I will!
I hope you are on David’s “Smart Letter” email list – it’s infrequent but well worth reading. I’ve had a number of very interesting exchanges with him.
