Wrote an article for Gigaom on Apple and SIMs

Gigaom just published an article by me called: "How to bypass carriers Apple style", on what Apple could do with the SIM-idea I developed for M2M. Apple is only in there because of the marketing value, Samsung, Sony, Philips, LG, Asus, all of them could be doing this. It works best for laptops and other data devices. These devices often don't have data roaming enabled, even if you use a dongle.

Have fun reading it!

GIGAOM Readers: please have a look at some of the other articles I wrote on the topic:

• A very simple presentation to introduce the idea given at the Telco2 conference (click or scroll down)
• A more in depth management summary of the idea, focussed on embedded M2M
• There is also a 55 page document for the government of the Netherlands (in Dutch)

Other things I wrote:

• The common errors of Telecom CEOs
• a primer on peering and transit
• Telecom Cool Wall
•  Why all telecom marketing and product management is wrong
