Personally I think Blockbusters will be soon. I would have got out of that business 4-5 years ago if I was in it.
Technology moves so fast these days and some companies just don't look to the future.
I read Being Digital by Nicholas Negroponte a few years ago - he
predicted a switch from atoms to bits:
quote:
Negroponte writes a lot about the idea of bits and atoms.
He notes that bits are the smallest form of information on a computer and that many bits when combined make up all information on a computer.
Digital music, ebooks, emails and many other types of information on the computer are made of bits.
He also writes about atoms which make up physical, tangible objects such as CDs, books and letters.
He believes that in the future all forms of information that are now made of atoms (books, CDs, etc.) will eventually be turned into bits.
And how do these bits get stored? In physical devices made from atoms of course...

Nokia mobile phones and Nokia Siemens Networks are completely different companies, though they used to be one.
Mobile phones is toast IMO (I've worked for them twice, once out of choice, once when they finally bought out Symbian) and have been since Jorma
Ollila left for Shell.
Networks were always on the brink, but if 4G takes off they might make it.

GTS Tuning? 
Nah, doesn't cost anything to make nothing and take money for it
Yeah Blockbuster could be next, along with any other company that doesn't have a net presence (for example I have bought an average of one
newspaper per year)
