]]> Comment on Telecom, Developers and Innovation by Paul Golding http://blog.aparicio.org/2011/10/24/telecom-developers-and-innovation/#comment-287 Paul Golding Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:56:42 +0000 http://blog.aparicio.org/?p=404#comment-287 Nice article Sam. I have been one of those actively working to transform the Telco industry along the lines you described here. I have created initiatives like connFu.com to combine "Web patterns" with telco capabilities. I also initiated the O2 Incubator project two years ago to find new ways of working with start-ups. One of the companies provided technology that has been used to build connFu! However, the pace of change is way too slow. Something major needs to happen in order for any telco to be relevant in the digital experiences. Your point is well put because the innovation we are talking about is fundamentally linked to software and software DNA. Not just that, but I would say "entrepreneurial software DNA," if such a term makes sense, noting that even when telcos have large R&D shops, they are generally not incentivized to make a difference.

Many years ago when I co-founded a startup, that's how we attracted the best and the brightest. In our case, we attracted musicians who wanted to work in the afternoons and early evenings. Today, I know of others who are working around parenting schedules. The answer to the second bullet may be offering flexible or part-time hours.
