"Inside Digital Media" posts podcast interview with me about iPhone

Phil Leigh, a long-time financial analyst and now for-profit podcaster at "Inside Digital Media," has posted a 33-minute podcast where he interviewed me about a variety of wireless data subjects, including the ramifications of the Apple iPhone and George Gilder's teleputer.

I first met Phil more than 25 years ago. 

I was helping to develop and manage Telocator Network of America (later called the Personal Communications Industry Association) the first U.S. trade association for the radio common carrier (paging and mobile phone) industry and he was a analyst at the investment banking firm of Reinheimer Nordberg. 

Phil spent a fair amount of time discussing the mobile industry with me at Telocator -- as well as doing a great deal of other research -- to write one of the first, if not the first, financial analyst report on the radio common carrier industry that highlighted the opportunities and significant profits generated by these independently owned mobile communications companies.

This was during the pre-cellular days of "beepers" for doctors and plumbers and "car phones" for limousine-riding executives.  Almost no one knew or cared anything about mobile communications then.
