The Open Source Cellphone: Lead Users and Early Adopters in the Mobile Phone Industry

Overview This paper proposes that disruptive applications and business models for mobile phones in North America are limited not by hardware or software capabilities, but by a restricted application development environment and the inability of heavily invested incumbents (service providers / carriers) to capitalize on such radical innovation.
