Well, since we’re all mobile, all the time this week, I have a blog I want to share with you. It’s called The Law of Mobility and it’s based on the author’s premise that ‘the value of any product or service increases with its mobility’. Hmmm.
Now this chap is no slouch. His name is Russ McGuire and he is director of corporate strategy at Sprint. He thinks big. He believes there is a convergence of ‘laws’ - chiefly Moore’s and Metcalfe’s - together with an emerging force he calls the Law of Mobillty. Here’s  how he described it in March of last year and I think it’s holding up:

That the value of any product increases with it’s mobility. (Where mobility is the percent of time the customer can fully use the product.) … The age of mobility is being brought on because we’ve reached that moment in time when the cost of adding mobility to any prduct (at least any information-rich or digitizable product) has fallen (thanks to Moore’s Law) to the point well below the value of adding mobility, meaning that mobility is now being built into every product.

Wow. It’s been one of those weeks. What day is it? When is the iPhone coming out?
