I had missed this; thanks to Alex Kerr for point this out: Talking Transcoding (Mobile Marketing Magazine) where Novarra’s President and COO, Jayanthi Rangarajan, was interviewed. Also make sure to scroll-down and go over the comments.
My response to this:
Prime example of lack of vision, and lack of network neutrality; only the partners get preference. Shame on both, the network provider, and Novarra for promoting closeness (and unnecessary control), and shame on Novarra for failing to take advantage of their position to educate their customer.
Prime example of group of people, in this case Novarra and the network carrier, thinking they know better than the rest… Novarra and the network provider should be smart, and should listen to the collective intelligence (vs. being defensive); collective intelligence that surpasses the intelligence of any single company out there.
Come one, the Manifesto can’t be more clear than what it is! Embrace it!
And be considerate about the content owner’s original intentions! Off-deck web-sites do generate traffic, content, revenue to others in the ecosystem.
