Mobile Operators, walled gardens, no clue

Link: Operators Don’t Sell Internet Access at MobHappy.

That’s the problem — a closed attitude that operators have to be at the center of everything, instead of empowering other content and service providers and working out an ecosystem through which everyone can profit. How many times will carriers’ closed systems have to fail before they learn this?

I was just about to write an ‘outraged’ note about this subject when I flicked over to see that Carlo at MobHappy already had done so!  Much more eloquently too.

When, O WHEN, will operators just sit back and provide the pipe and let everyone else get on with the business of innovation?
