Like I said, maybe it’s time to buy BT stock

Doc Searls on JP’s move to BT:

The real story is that a major carrier is finally starting to grok, at the top, that the main benefits to incumbency are not just ownership of the pipes. There are countless creative things that an incumbent carrier — with existing relationships with customers, with “plant” all over the place, with science and business advantages out the wazoo — can do to make money, other than just by creating false (or any other kind of) scarcities in the backbone and the last mile (or acre, in the case of wireless).

    This is exciting - I was considering taking your ‘advice’ and buying some BT shares as I thought ‘might as well’ when I logged in to check my account and found I already own BT shares! It had completely passed me by. But they’ve already gone up by 30% since June, so you may have missed the boat (though if Peter C was here he could tell you about how I said that about a certain company which has doubled or more since).
