Poor forecasting – some short-sighted quotesWith thanks to Peter Cochrane’s blog http://www.silicon.com/search/peter-cochrane/n-28e/ • Optical fibre will never displace copper and microwave radio. • Mobile communication will never be a big revenue earner. • No adult is going to sit there sending stupid little text messages. • We have no interest in VoIP and it will never be important. • Wi-fi will never have an impact on the telecoms industry. • Why would anyone want 10Mbps to their home? • The internet will always be asymmetric. • The iPhone will never sell - it doesn't have any hard keys. • And finally a thought about price………………… • When reporters asked Shepard [Nasa Freedom 7 astronaut Alan Shepard, 1961] what he thought about as he sat atop the Redstone rocket, waiting for lift-off, he replied, 'The fact that every part of this ship was built by the low bidder'.
