@monkbent do you know what these services are? -
@eric_perlberg a bit if everything. Games, apps, ebooks, ads, paid themes, search. It's like Apple only making profit on iTunes/apps etc -
@monkbent or Google selling hardware at cost to profit from the Play store without the hidden advertising revenue? Hard to take seriously. -
@eric_perlberg well, that's why it should be taken curiously. A competitor who lives on much smaller margin is much more dangerous -
@monkbent those sort of dots are always easier to connect looking back. I’ll remain incredulous. -
@eric_perlberg yes. Agree they've sort of jumped the shark, as it were.
