I find nearly every conversation with you eventually winds up with you
and I coming from the same place.
Business planning fundamentals used to be recognized as such, yet too
often overlooked these days by starry-eyed aspirants hoping that getting
a record in a database will be their ticket to success.
My only issue here, as with Andre and the EU, isn't that we're expected
to hang our shingle if we want to be in business. It's the vision of a
world where we're prohibited from hanging our shingle in any property we
may own, required to surrender an entire third of our company to have a
cramped space in a massive shopping mall owned and controlled by a
cartel of two of the wealthiest and most powerful companies on earth.
Just when the disintermediation inherent in the promise of the open web
was beginning to make itself felt to publishers and consumers alike, we
started seeing service aggregation reserving those benefits.
App store receipts are more than a third of Apple's services revenue.
My favorite period with Apple was when they made their money on their
own work.
