Tough Competition in WLAN Switch
Business 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
WLAN switch makers continue to duke it out in the marketplace: Even though analysts have been predicting consolidation for a while, not much has happened and in fact new competitors, sometimes in the form of established equipment vendors, continue to enter the market. Recently I've noticed press releases coming out to announce practically every new customer win as the switch makers look for recognition. This piece mentions a few such announcements that came out today, including that Aruba is building a network for Ariba and expanding the network at Dartmouth University. Airespace also announced it is building a network at Galluadet University in Washington, D.C....

Five Innovative Firms Face The

Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition 09/08/2004 12:32 PM
Innovators don't always survive. In fact, there are plenty of stories of innovative companies who blazed the path for others to follow, but who were trampled by all those fast followers. News.com has written up a piece looking at five such innovative companies, all of whom are now facing strong competition from established companies: Netflix, TiVo, PalmSource, RIM and Vonage. All five have their similarities. They all came first in their space, and they have customers who absolutely adore them. Now, they all have some pretty big competition. So, the question for all of these companies is whether they can adapt and stay ahead, or if they'll be historical footnotes. All have been adjusting, from Netflix and TiVo's rumor ed deal with each other, to the new smartphone RIM released, to Vonage's push to get bundled in with Linksys and Netgear equipment. Whether or not that's enough remains to be seen. It's both interesting (and encouraging) to note that, while all of these companies seem to have various patents, none seem to simply be relying solely on those patents as a competitive advantage, but rather are realizing they really do need to offer more innovative products. Given the trend lately of companies using patent licensing to impede, rather than promote, innovative uses of technology, this is a good thing. As we've said before, sustainable competitive advantage is the real myth of IT. Building up successive, fleeting competitive advantages is how a company really needs to maintain its position or grow long-term.

There seems to be a near consensus panning of Apple's iPod mini. And I disagree. I posted the following as a comment in one of my own posts from a couple of days ago (and I want to repost it here so I can point to it in 6 months when I'm proven right): "Regarding the iPod-mini, your observation about the $50/11GB delta is being echoed across the web this morning but I'm not so sure.

The iPod was developed by a man with roots in suburban Detroit.
