I definitely agree that wireless carriers are hindering mobile data service innovations. Wireless carriers, in all parts of the world, impose too many barriers on mobile developers wanting to launch new mobile data services. I've been working with wireless carriers in Korea and I would have to say that there are many companies in Korea that face similar challenges as Sling Media as their ability to launch new services are completely controlled by the three major wireless carriers in Korea. This is very unfortunate for everyone, especially for mobile users. Good post. I definitely agree that wireless carriers are hindering mobile data service innovations.

I hope you will keep hammering the very true point that it is the carriers who end up failing. The content is going to find its way into the open mobile medium. The carriers short sided by greed will be left by the wayside. It sure would speed things up, though, if the carriers would wise up and open up content! The next big area for opening up mobile content is for learning. In my view the digital natives are restless because their carriers of learning content are brick and mortar schools with tattered paper textbooks. Like Verizon and Sting, Sting will get its content empowered — and the digital natives are going to get their digital knowledge. It will be interesting to see how the schools (and Verizon) cope.

Let’s hope that this issue turns into a strategy for one of the carriers… as in, they’ll change their policy as a means to get people to jump ship.
