Every revolution, wether electricity, steam, automotive or telecoms, goes through a boom, then a bust, then a golden age period that emerges where it matures, we are in a maturity period now of IT. The names above, came at a time when the boom and subsequent bust occurred, they were not around for the golden age - fast forward to now, over a decade later since bandx, and you have the pieces of the puzzle that can be re assembled using the right technology. We don¹t differentiate using technology anymore, we get creative with the way we use iT. 70% of the worlds capacity is unlit, untouched, and creating no value whatsoever - http://mobsource.tumblr.com/post/22890631023/bandwidth-trading-platform-liv e >Message: 7 >Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 19:46:08 -0500 >From: John Kristoff <[email protected]> >To: Owen DeLong <[email protected]> >Cc: "carl gough \[mobsource\]" <[email protected]>, [email protected] >Subject: Re: trading bandwidth >Message-ID: <20120529194608.74e83eb6@localhost> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > >On Tue, 29 May 2012 15:10:04 -0700 >Owen DeLong <[email protected]> wrote: > >> IIRC, the concept was first introduced by MCI and Enron to great >> fanfare and subsequent graphic demonstrations of the destructive >> power of unregulated markets controlled by people of limited moral >> fortitude. > >I thought those big organizations actually came in later.
