Good news, fellow readers — inspiration hit today as well.

There’s this longer written piece I’ve put together today which will be sent shortly to the Medium publication through which I’m issuing it.

Here’s an excerpt from it, the craziest bit. And, as always, I will post here when the bigger piece is released! Thank you for reading this.

The excerpt:

Yes, no one is giving away free phones at the moment. But at one point in the future, it will come. There will be a time when smartphones will be handed out for free.

Naturally, the free phones won’t be the topmost luxury version. 

In other words: in those days when this will happen, the free phones that will be handed out won’t be what today’s iPhone XS Max is.

But the math will add up one day for someone.

It will start with companies selling a phone at a loss, the same way Sony sells the PlayStations at a loss . Why do they do that? Because there’s more value in another area.

Slowly but surely, this trend will advance until we’ll reach the bottom: free phones in exchange for whatever value will be found in that area. 

Whether the value will be in crowdsourcing intellectual efforts, data or something else — that I don’t know. 

P.S: The story is about more than just free smartphones! After this bit, we’re taking a step back to look at the big picture. The full article is coming out soon.
