The model is absolutely amazing and I really hope the other MNO and MVNO realise how much potential revenue they are missing out on!

On the Blyk side, I think it is important you seperate your experiences and thoughts from what Blyk's aims are.

It is vital everyone can express their opinion but lets be careful not to cloud the intent.

As one of the original team myself, I can assure you the aim of Blyk is something that is sadly not commonplace enough in other media. Yet.

– Asking not telling.

– Citizen control of profile.

– Permission first.

I would place a career size bet that the aims of Blyk will gradually be adopted across the entire industry as an incresingly standard way of engagement marketing.

If that is incredibly flawed then everything that I, Tomi Ahonen, Doc Searls, Alan Moore, JP Rangaswami, Don Peppers (and many others) stand for, is incredibly flawed also.

To reiterate – it is essential there is open debate – but we have a collective responsibility in the public eye to ensure that core concept is not confused (in the reader's eye) with personal opinion.

'Tis all. Happy new year :)
