“The future always comes too fast and in the wrong order.” — Alvin Toffler

For most of the past year, on many US airlines, those phones inserted into the middle seat have borne a label reading “Service Disconnected.” Those labels tell a simple story — people don’t like to make $40 phone calls. They tell a more complicated one as well, about the economics of connectivity and about two competing visions for access to our various networks. One of these visions is the one everyone wants — ubiquitous and convenient — and the other vision is the one we get — spotty and cobbled together.

The German city of Munich was balking at a $36.6 million proposal from Microsoft to upgrade 14,000 desktop PCs to the latest versions of Windows and Office.
