Internet Futures
Here I am channelling Anders Rockstromof Telia Sonera, whose presentation atthe .se event in October 2006 had aprofound impact on me – he stated the truth so clearly and simply it was an irresistible message. More folk should hear what he has to say – so this is your opportunity!
I’ve made some changes to match whats been happening since 2006, but I think that the essential message remains the same – thanks Anders!
