The future's so bright ...I am going to change careers

In this post I wrote about the bright future for telecomm products and services as they sit in the middle of 5 large industry trends - Globalization, SaaS, Mobility, Collaboration and Telemetry.

Well, here's an interesting counter-point from Brian McConnell - as he "retires" from telecomm. As an entrepreneur he has seen the industry from the ground up and you would be foolish to ignore the aches and pains he describes.

But why do I believe we are just seeing the beginning, not the end of history, when it come to disruption and innovation in telecommunications? Next gen iPhones,  Wi-Fly, WiMax, wiring Africa, telepresence, more broadband juice from existing copper,  next-gen navigation devices, next-gen healthcare...I could go on and on ...somebody is going to keep making money.

Trillions worth.
