41. Ubiquity underpins Adoption
Can’t placeshift and timeshift in
pockets
If you’re not all in, consumers fall
off the edges and get shunted
around inconsistently
Ironically utility pricing is
problematic
Because you need everybody
45. Everything, everytime
Single view of consumer - Holy grail
Horizontal inclusivity > vertical exclusivity
Every touch point matters
Every quality variation matters
‣ Because experience is as much felt by
consistency as quality
61. Decisions, decisions
Horizontal not vertical
Adaptable
Body politic simpatico
Relative value
Customisable
Open source, discretionary
