Default Wal-Martification of Mobility

http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/1008714.html

"I�m hardly surprised at this, but still it�s sad to see this report from eMarketer that Wal-Mart has taken over the number one position in the last 6 months in terms of handset sales in retail stores. Consumers always want inexpensive or free phones, that�s for sure. But Wal-Mart I�m sure is pushing it to extremes, with the cheapest phones and most basic plans. Not good for mobility in general, the mobile market or anyone in particular except maybe Chinese sweat shop owners who have deals with them."

I don't know if I share the concern here. I doubt many of the people running to Wal Mart for free phones would really be interested in the kinds of things we are here.
