Chris Anderson's response to Malcolm Gladwell's review of his book "Free" in the New Yorker, in particular to the journalism business model point.
Bottom line is that you still gotta earn enough for your daily bread whatever your business model. -
Quite a different take on free by Malcolm Gladwell with a bunch of examples, summed up thus: "The only iron law here is the one too obvious to write a book about, which is that the digital age has so transformed the ways in which things are made and sold that there are no iron laws."

Not good at all. It goes on to show how dissimilar the dynamics of the mobile phone platform is to the PC. The members of the so called OHA seem to have locked up their contributions. So, is this a failure of open-source\free software?
Apple did make some inroads into freeing up the phone from the operator, but that's a different story. Also goes on to show how much better the Indian telecom market is than the US one (for the time being at least).
