1- Bands should go Indie, and treat their music as water, yeah a resource which should be managed and marketed in volume, not per copies, bundling and cross selling their products as an “experience” is the way to go

2- Telcos and brands should start exploring the dance community as another untapped market, the demographics are just right for aggressive product cross selling

3- Mobile advertising is an interesting idea to explore

4- A flat music subscription fee for unlimited music downloads is another solution against music piracy in Asia

5- According to Gerd Leonhard, mobile devices are the new Internet platform, companies should harness this new territory NOW!

6- I strongly urge Major labels to work together to develop a competitor portal to itunes, this time, instead of developing another ipod, venture into mobile devices and interoperability

7- I think there is no passion in the music business anymore, well, at least in Malaysia. The executives don’t even know what the band sounds like, its just dollars and cents talk. So angry.

8- Events and concerts should start selling mobile content of their featured artist and bundle it with other merchandise. My personal case study on this is with the recent Global Gathering. 1146 ring back tone downloads in 2 days is not bad at all..

9- Mr. Sandy Monteiro, thank you for the new RBT model, now THAT new model really makes sense. I apologize for the bashing, I received info from very bad sources. As for Maxis, this new model makes more sense and on behalf of the music industry, I totally support it. I can only publish the new business mode after it is made public. Just watch out for this space!

*This is subject to changes from Maxis

** I might be removing this info if Maxis feels that it is inappropriate for me to publish this

10- I think Maliq & D’Essentials’ new album is totally AWESOME!!
