Just an observation
Reading Barron's article on the thirty best CEO's. Five we could liberally associate with our space. None specifically as telecom.
Makes for an interesting perspective on upper management.
Here the folks from our space in corporate alphabetical order.
Steve Jobs of Apple comes first which is only fitting since he stole the thunder of CEA singlehandedly making his show the show. Still not sure how to take the freedom of Mac's and reconcile them to restriction of the iPhone. But greater minds than mine.... They certainly know how to spell GUI over there.
Echostar's Charlie Ergen gets credit for being right in the hunt of services and is partnered with att. If applications are independent of transport and ultimately you are a wireless customer, why not forget the legacy and move to a more mobile model. Most importantly, pay close attention to how Dish Network pays attention to the Video on the Net content.
Rupert Murdoch at Newscorp has made the entertainment industry more entertaining. And with his ebb and flow of Myspace and Brightstar, a separate category of watching should be made on Newscorp alone.
Satoru Iwata from Nintendohas an interesting presentation about how they see games being the basis. Hard to fight with success, particularly when the have the Wii thing going. Pay close attention to the software side of things.
Samsung's Jong-Yong Yun is an MIT graduate. When you look at the capital that the company has you realize that its a force that needs to be watched.
