May 24th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Why can’t I get in contact with people by telephone sometimes (often)? It’s simple. My telephone only offers me a 50/50 chance, or less, of making contact. If I dial your number, I have no idea if you’re available or not.

So said Michael Osborn (Times Newspaper) yesterday at the Mobile Internet Portal Strategies (MIPS) 08 conference. What a great phrase! It reflects an interesting aspect of the tensions in the changing digital landscape.
