Sexy strategies about the use of mobile devices are a great way to part executives from their IT budgets (particularly if you promise them first use of those devices on the company budget) but if you don't get the foundations right you end up with well presented rubbish.

Or does this simply point up the customers whose experience they are looking to enhance are those who don't actually buy their own tickets.... :w
