1999 California Internet Venture Capital 
Both Sides of the Table
FEBRUARY 14, 2010
In 1999 I was in Japan doing a strategy project for the board of directors of Sony. We were looking at all sorts of strategic decisions that Sony was considering, which required analysis and data on broadband networks, Internet portas and mobile handsets/networks.

And now all of a sudden you have got this global market of all these early adopters that have smartphones connected to the Internet, and they can just pick up their things and run with them. So it would seem like they are an antidote to, or at least less offensive than, social/consumer Internet companies are to the public markets.

That economy, our new economy, looks vastly different from that which we’re, perhaps, familiar in California or New York.
