(keitai-l) I-mode: Success by accident -or- How journalism works.

Good Morning Readers,

some of us had a good laugh yesterday as we finally saw the article
in the Telecom Asia Magazine April issue, page 56 written by
_Terry_ Chan (not his real name).

So if one of you want to see how an satirical comment in
this list made it's way into a (hahaha) serious publication
and all (satirical) facts are mangled, misformed, turned
around, misunderstood and suddenly you could read:

"I-mode was an unplanned success by accident".

That's great, but how could he get so much information out of
this post:

Maybe Telecom Asia should change their name to 'Tales of Asia'
or at least change _Terrys_ (not his real name) column to
'_Terrys_ (not his real name) Tales'.

Thanks for entertaining us, _Terry_ (not his real name).
We appreciate humour in times where "...a reportly sticky content
site - operating, I imagine on a shoestring - serving the world's
most successful wireless Internet service still can't make it,
what chance do wireless content providers worldwide have?".

Start your day with a smile :)
