Is ACN Really That Lame?

Dan Walmsley thinks so, and that ACN is selling crappy technology.

"Ok, so they sell:

(a) A product nobody wants (proprietary videophones that don't talk SIP), and
(b) A product so commoditised that there's practically no margin in it (mobile and fixed line phone plans)

But the common link between these two products?

They're both new enough that normal people don't understand the market dynamics yet. They think they're getting in "ahead of the curve", when in fact they're taking a sharp turn off a cliff.

I could go on, but I won't. Suffice it to say: They won't be getting my $500 sign-up fee. They won't be convincing me to sell stuff to my friends they don't need.

They won't have a chance to lock me into bizarre non-compete contracts that take any hope of true business initiative away from me (you can't do your own marketing.

You can't cold-call. You can't approach suppliers directly. Etc)."

Does Dan know what he talking about? Who is Dan?

"

Dan (or Daniel) Walmsley is a comedian, musician and programmer currrently living in Melbourne, Australia."

So can a comic really know that much about lame technology? Or is Dan lame himself?
