MobileDay quickly found out that mobile had disrupted the control that companies used to have over the cost of conference calls. MobileDay knew that they could save time.

To understand this better, I’d like to use a classic example from tech – that of Steve Ballmer’s view of the iPhone, and subsequently his approach to the mobile business. And, at least in the case of mobile, it was completely wrong. It requires a huge act of will and introspection for you to change your truth.
