Some people would claim that SNS, through a powerful readership, now creates its own “bow wake,” and that predictions become somewhat self-fulfilling. Is that possible?
A. Yes. I think it’s the best part of the work. It’s impossible to gauge completely, but I like the concept of having good ideas that go out and prosper, particularly if they bring a benefit to the world. Some of them are small and fun: making up the word AORTA (Always On RealTime Access), and then having it used for the first broadband Net in Europe. By now, there are a lot of fun stories in this vein. Talking Bill Gates into embedding NT, then his best OS, into a chip (that decision, in XP form, makes even more sense today). Having lunch with Leif Pagrotsky while he was Trade Minister of Sweden, and recommending they conduct conditional 3G (vs. “pure”) auctions; and hearing later that day that they’d made the decision. (Sweden remains a leader in broadband wireless because of this smart move on their part.)
