I felt the article was way too much gaga that it should have been considering the business has been around for a while. I see a PR offensive by ZipDial (they were covered by The Economist as well). Nothing wrong with it though. Neither of the articles elaborates on the vulnerability of the business models now that many people in India have been busy whatsapping. I have seen so many non-tech-savvy people use it, amazing traction. Also there are so many short code marketing companies that have been around for a while. Also another thing that stuck out of the article was 87 broad patents. Will be interesting to know what they are. -- Vinayak
