"Exactly the same" only if you ignore everything about them that isn't consumer facing. Telcos are high-profit margin regional monopolies, whereas airlines operate at the margins and are fiercely competitive. Perhaps the only thing that can be said about them being similar is that they are high barrier-to-entry industries.
- grecy 9y agoI meant "exactly the same" in the sense of the article - "letting old technology abuse their customers". These old industries are dinosaurs in "the age of the internet" and have no clue what they are doing with regard to IT / Systems.
