TV Isn’t a Contact Sport
You've probably spent a lot of time in front of the TV recently...Super Bowl, Olympics, American Idol. Next up Futbol's World Cup...now there's going to be a series everyone watches. You've seen your share of pretty good to decent to OMG ads as well. Ah there's the rub. You only looked. You didn't interact with them. You know watch the ad and jump online to visit their web site, tweet your friends, go to their Facebook friends page, visit their YouTube ads. No you sat there. You watched, had some liquid refreshments, popcorn/chips/whatever and waited for the next play/event to take place. If you watched in a pub you high-fived six/seven folks and ordered another round. Again not the interactivity advertisers were hoping for. Maybe they're expecting too much of us...ya think???

Motivation for working: Recognition, Fulfillment or Money?
What are key reasons for working? Asking people this question (and I have asked thousands of candidates in my HR Consulting career) will trigger many different kinds of answers, from financial benefits or sheer survival, fulfillment, recognition, status, power, challenges, social interaction, fun, interest, curiosity and personal development, to meaningful contribution, helping others, service and “making the world a better place”. It is obvious that we all do have reasons to invest our time, ideas, thoughts (and sometimes physical power) in order to achieve something, to obtain a certain feeling or to gain other benefits.
Providers Work to Profitably Meet Data/Video Bandwidth Demand
Friends in the Pacific Basin laugh at us when we talk about our 4G mobile service. When we say the infrastructure is being enhanced with LTE and soon we'll have 12MB bandwidth they look at us with pity. But when they look at our "all you can eat" service there is envy in their eyes. We don't bother telling them that the everything data plans are either capped or throttled and going away...why disillusion them? Some really smart people have an idea of how to build a new bridge and get us more bandwidth. It will come to pass even if the broadcasters don't like it because...there's money involved.
