This from Nick Carr

Behind Microsoft's big bid for Yahoo, I argue in a column at Forbes.com, lies a bigger shift: the transformation of consumer software into a media business.

This to me is conspiciously like my proposition of music in the clouds (or my tongue in cheek version -MaaS). Just coming at it from a the other end of the continuum.

About

My name is Paul. I've spent the last 12 years working on the convergence of IT and T. In that time I've held roles in strategy, marketing, sales and new product development for the largest hosted service provider in New Zealand. As such I've been across a lot of the developments in convergence, utility computing and SaaS business models. I am lucky enough to be able to spend time cogitating on the new trends I see in ICT.

I've got a lot of expertise on how innovation and disruptive innovation occur. And because of where I work I am acutely aware of how incumbent companies try (and fail) to address disruption and innovation.

This background, combined with a desire to be part of the participation culture, led rise to this site. Hope you enjoy it
