Guerinot, Freston on Jobs

CREATING AN ECOSYSTEM: Carr’s column included quotes from a couple of smart people we know. Said Jim Guerinot of Jobs: “He took a locked system, one that was controlled by the record companies, and cracked it open. That disruption created opportunities for everything that has happened since.” Tom Freston also had a take: “I think far from destroying the music business, he put it on a path to redemption. With the iPod and iTunes, Steve not only created his own ecosystem, it turned out to be one that was contagious and created opportunities not only for his computer business, but for all the Apple products that came behind it.” (8/31a)
