This in part due to the lack of vision by almost all carriers stuck in one paradigm, “voice calls”. They ignored the explosive growth of the internet, they ignored the rush of commerce on the Web 1.0 network. I don’t think we should stand around and wait for the mobile providers to catch up with web 1.0. The online community needs the 2.0 services to expand to the next level. I say onward and upward. There are many new devices and technology ready to take over the poor quality of service delivered over the mobile net that will need/embrace the wed 2.0 growth.

It is positive we are looking forward. I only wish more time would be spent on 1.0 and getting the consumer to use this technology. Interesting note, Critical path in a recent survey has just reported that 98% of consumers cited cost as a reason for not trying or using new mobile data services in the past. 98% is a huge, convincing number. Combine a bad user experience on 1.0 and cost and getting to 2.0 may be harder then we think. Adoption of the normob is needed critically at this stage.
