 Cornered! is a blog on all things telecommunications, and a few others as well: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been observing, reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. It aims to be controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on the encounters and experiences of a telecoms journalist dealing with an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.
