Freemium model needs a rethink (*)

(*) Good point by Sramana Mitra in the post linked to above.

Similar point about software services companies, IMO: those that compete only (or even mainly) on price (and the majority of smaller Indian ones do that), will mostly fail (*), or at best, stagnate. I've worked with some of them, and seen the results, so my opinion is based on experience.
