Terry loves walled gardens. He appears to have extended the concept to his building security. As I was leaving tonight I saw a number of visitors trying to leave the building but their visitors badges did not work on the automatic security gates so they couldn't get out. What did Terry's security guard do? Open the gate for the visitors as you'd expect, oh no, he refused to let them out.
It would appear that Terry is no longer just a mindset, it's a disease and it's spreading. Time for mandatory vaccinations.
ter·ry tel·co (tĕr'ē tĕl'kō')
n., pl. -cos.
A person who through ignorance, denial or laziness continues to do things the way they have historically been done without recognising that the world around them has changed.

Well, this is not about Telco; this is about being the king of the hill. Remember, monopoly is a terrible thing till you have it!
Do you think the security guards in Google, Apple or News Corp would behave any different?
"Walled Gardens" are always developed by the winners, who have the vision and guts to define and set own boundary. It's their heirs who do not know or dare to open up the wall to go after the bigger and better.
The winners build the walled gardens to set their mark. The losers retreat inside are, well, just pathetic!
