Circles of Evolution

“What?” I hear you say, “Another blog for the communications industry? “ Well, like most others, we hope to make a point here and then take it this way and that to create a few lines, and then maybe go around in circles before we finally erase the board and start again with renewed vigor…

Sounds a bit like the telecommunications industry that emerged on 1 January 2007, doesn’t it? Except maybe, for the fact that the marketplace seems to have undergone a transformation like no other while Ma-Bell redrew herself.

Always something new to offer.  

I was browsing the web sites of the large telecoms of the world and couldn’t help but notice how nearly 90% of them have some kind of a circle or oval shape in their logos – perhaps suggesting a global connectedness and a multi-dimensional character. Then again, maybe it’s just a reflection of a feeling of completeness. Known boundaries. Stable revolutions. Symmetric outcomes. Complex forces made to appear simple.

Fact is that the numerous technologies, media, content, players and consumers that make up our communications planetary system have begun to exert a new set of forces. Some will use the energy to catapult into new orbits. Others with thin crusts will be exposed and relegated to the status of Pluto.

Join me as we debate, discuss and demystify this emerging landscape. I hope to bring together the perspectives of eager consumers, industry experts, technology gurus and market commentators.
