POPSSharp decline in business for handset makers A day doesn't go by without further indication that the crisis is deepening and hitting sectors previously thought to be shielded to a some extent. This piece of news also shows that consumers and businesses alike are unlikely to resume investments and spending before they are certain that the worse of the crisis is behind us. In the field of mobile telephony a sharp drop in capacity used by subscribers is to be expected and in particular in those patterns of usage rightly considered to be most expensive (roaming, mobile multimedia Internet...) This is all rather good news for Jajah, (www.jajah.com, which I covered on my blog more than two years ago) as well as for Skype. Furthermore, I expect broadband ISPs to do well.

POPSCost of cutting carbon Interesting data on the cost estimates relating to various means of cutting carbon emissions. However, at the very moment when markets are proven not to be as effective as previously proclaimed, do we still want to rely solely on market mechanisms to quell carbon emissions?

POPSMicrosoft's woes? The hits seem to keep coming for Microsoft who has hard time imposing Vista on the market, faces issues with Excel, a flagship product, and lost an important legal battle with the EU Commission over its competitive behavior. While Microsoft's tactics justifiably cause customers to be concerned, I believe the weapon of market dominance ends up being a boomerang for a company because its erodes its relational capital with customers and local communities, drives intense reactions from competitors and regulators and probably leads to some form of complacency and arrogance of its personnel, who may end up believing that whatever they release will end up being bought by a market taken hostage by their employer.
