oh nooooooo. I’ve just marked 3uk 10/10 on Ewan’s ranking screen, as their bigplan is starting to become clearer in my head and it looks good. and then the party is spoilt by this…or is it…..maybe they actually deserve 11 out of 10…
…lets throw in an idea to really stir it up. Do people think it would be better if (and of course it is an if) another network operator bought them, or lets say a media company snuck in there such as EMI, Sony, Virgin, HMV, Apple, ITV, Murdoch,…you get the idea…??? The emphasise being on creating a global mega-branded mobile-play based primarily around music, video, tv and general media/newmedia fun.
So basically taking what 3 have given us in their recent visionary announcement and letting a big play media company take it onwards and upwards to the next stage. Their x-series announcement was basically a way of saying to lots of big media companies “hey, we’ve got 3 this far but aren’t big enough to take it to the next stage but here is a vision of what it could be…so who’s up for buying the vision and making 3 the next global mega-branded mobile media company?”…
just a thought…
