Desde la creación de la división global Telefónica Digital, hemos visto cómo la operadora ha comenzado a presentar novedades a un ritmo mejor. Eso que los anglosajones llaman “mejorar el time to market”. Y se trata de cosas con buen aspecto. Su servicio de mensajería instantánea TU Me, por ejemplo, presenta alguna que otra novedad importante y ventajas frente al ubicuo Whatsapp.TU Me como marca de la evolución de Telefónica - ALSD - La reinvención de Telefónica

enough capacity to watch Internet video - and therefore, implicitly, VoIP - is likely a reasonable compromise for best-effort access

Following If you want a high exit value, you must either be wildly profitable, or have zero revenue. Anything else just raises awkward questions.This makes a lot of sense, assuming a popular app/service (which means lots of existing users). With zero revenue you can still think of a future in which a enormous user base will be monetizable, which *would* justify a high valuation. If you are already generating a moderate revenue then the question arises ‘why aren’t you already generating more money with that existing user base’, and set a very concrete (realistic?) expectations on the future of that business.
[unstructured rant begins here]
Still there is a reflection missing about wether revenue (either present o future/potential) is the only source of value for companies nowadays. This maybe breaks the traditional economic analysis, but we might consider that having real power (political or social) that can be used is something valuable in itself. The origin of the companies (or enterprises) comes from an association of persons with a common goal, usually this was profit, but maybe we are moving beyond that traditional conception.
Think about Facebook and Twitter, is it dollars (or euros) the only way to measure their value? Or is the power they are beginning to have over society more relevant?
