Stuck for something to do one day the Nokia board flicked through their personalised data management suites (Rolodex) and picked up the phone to the firstseven content companies they came across:

Nokia exec: Hi, Is that Atypical media owner at Sony/CNN/Jamba/IBN/Rooftop Comedy/ROK/Versaly? this is Niko at Nokia
Atypical media owner: Aah Hi Niko, what can we do for you?
Nokia Exec: You know how we have got almost 156 zillion phones on the market, used by everyone from Steven Seagal to Jesus?
Atypical media owner: Yup
Nokia Exec:  Can we have some of your video and stuff to put on them?  It will be seen by a few people
Atypical media owner: Do we get any money?
Nokia Exec: Weeeell not EXACTLY, but this is the brave new world of technology.  Be thankful we are not building a community with you.
Atypical media owner Well, OK, i suppose so.  You owe me beers though
Nokia Exec: Look, dont get fresh with me, or i will sell that story of what you and David Hasslehoff did with Johnny the goat at the last big media blowout
Atypical media owner: Oh, OK. Bye.

DISCLAIMER: No Goats were hurt by David Halsslehoff or anyone from a media company ever. Honest.
