They are leaner and meaner and more competitive precisely because they have co-opted the same technologies startups used to attack them” and so “until there is another fundamental technology disruption, the window of opportunity for startups is limited to more traditional markets with less competitive players.”<p>Oh, come on.  Where there are BigCos, there is inherent bureaucracy slowing them down.  Creating a startup gives founder engineers the opportunity to massively create wealth in a way that BigCo simply does not incentivize.
