Not sure whether Terry Frazier is a lone voice in the woods but his decision to split
with Skype is intriguing. His post sounds a lot like someone breaking
up with a girlfriend who's really nice but not the one: “It's not you,
it me, blah, blah, blah.” While describing Skype as disruptive, Terry
justifies the sudden divorce from Skype with an explanation that will
probably shock non-Luddites:
“Skype is currently in the early adopter phase, and there are lots of
early adopters (another hallmark of a disruptive technology.) But I am
not one of them. I want my phone to work. I want good reliable
sound. I want dependability. I want everything the old-fashioned POTS
has brought us for years.”
Wonder what Meg and Niklas would think?
