“it’s about connection, not content”

[Euan Sem­ple:]

“What will it take for MSM (Mains­tream Media) to unders­tand that the point of broad­band is not so much fat­ter pipes down which they can stuff stuff, but that the con­nec­tion is always on and we can tran­sact and con­nect with each other easier.”

I’d love to hear Jason and his AOL pay­mas­ters address that.

    It’s sad that with the ama­zing com­mu­ni­ca­tion tools out there, some peo­ple can’t get their head around the poten­tial for a DIFFERENT way to communicate.

    Abso­lu­tely! It’s the same industry men­ta­lity that refers to devi­ces as mobile when what they actually are is por­ta­ble. We may choose to use them while we’re “on the move” but the key is that we want com­mu­ni­ca­tion access whe­re­ver we are (mobile or stationary).
