Yea I know, I considered that someone would raise the fact that they're a telco. It's difficult to articulate what I mean by tech-first, and I don't want to lean on "I know it when I see it", but I'm describing a cluster in thingspace that I think is clear to pretty much everyone here.

I’d say that at heart they’re a utility company rather than a tech company.

[wutbrodo → JeremyBanks]

I don't know enough about We. Aren't they a real estate company?

In their S1 they claim they’re SAAS ( “space-as-a-service” )
