Interesting take on a very possible future: wireless access will become the 'tipping point' where vendors stop trying to charge individual prices for content and will instead collect revenues from a pool collected from wireless access sales. "Can you think of a single model where we haven't had a pool of money then split it up?" he asks. "Since the 1920s we've had public address systems, radio, TV, and cable - and all of those are monetized with a pool. You simply can't find an example to the contrary."
