Douglas Rushkoff is at it again: dissing mobile content, though of course he makes sense. “Wireless providers…are falling for the same misguided content arguments of the mid-nineties, and threatening their very liquidity with foolish investments into content.

Because the companies with whom they are making these deals aren’t as stupid as they were in the 1990s. They know that wireless content won’t work any better than Internet content did. They just want the cash.”
