It’s similar to a story I told about horseless carriages to an MP a few years ago. People tend to see innovations as a threat and not an opportunity. That is until such time as more liberal regime pops up and destroys them! <\/span>Establised systems need not worry about cannibalising their own customers, more nimble, hungry competitors will do that nicely thanks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell people about it!<\/span><\/p>\n
