Telecom Executive: "Hey everybody seems to be able to move faster than us. We ought to try the way that (enter some idea) works for this other market."
Other Party (Systems Vendor, Middle Management, Consultant): "Great idea, we will get right on that!"
Some Poor Slob (i.e. One of the Engineers who have to make this stuff): "So wait a minute they want absolute control over a set of products that are built for free out of infrastructure built by someone else."
Second Poor Slob: "Yeah, they want to change how products are built but are not going to adopt the other things that happen in the environment that all this stuff comes from. That is an awesome idea (HEAVY SARCASM)."
Some Poor Slob: "Yeah, I think I will start writing apps. Lots of VC funding there and when it breaks I can do another one."
Second Poor Slob: "Already have my resume on Monster."
