The inevitable wireless spectrum crunch is an opportunity to make a lot of money if you’re a smart VC.

For reasons that are still unclear to me, I was having flashbacks to the late 90′s web.  <Blink> tags and Geocities ruled the web and one flash animation stood out in particular – Radiskull by Joe Sparks.  I can’t seem to find the original Flash file in an easy to embed setup but here is [...]
