ITConversations big daddy Doug Kaye has been letting the kimono slip a bit over the past week. I listened to the G'day World interview (hey guys please check your sound levels) and have been reading his blog post about the "new" business model.
To summarize: More of the same. Much more.
Doug is looking to sustain and grow ITConversations but he is not interested in profit. It's clear that Doug has made some successful business decisions in the past and is a man of independent means with a vision. That is not to say that the network will not be seeking other forms of revenue. He is still seeking listener donations, sustaining sponsors and non-governmental grants. (If you can't love an organization that makes it a policy NOT to seek government hand-outs then have fun in Scotland...). Indeed, Doug may introduce a premium content stream at ITConversations. You will be able to pay to get a package of audio immediately after a conference rather than wait for the presentations to be delivered for free at the rate of one per week.
Given Doug's specialty content and continued focus on audio programs of high quality, I ask you: Who would you rather have piloting your plane? Curry or Kaye?
