Back in 2011, Brad Frost wrote a post on Support vs. Optimization. When we build fat sites that are incredibly slow to load on older devices or slower networks, if they can even load at all , we’re crippling that super power. The web has the power to go anywhere—any network, any device, any browser.

Perhaps a more direct way to say this in the context of economic value creation is that companies such as Amazon and Google and Facebook had developed a set of remarkable advances in networked and data-enabled market coordination.

First, most mobile subscribers aren't bound to a network. While the name of the game is scale, these dynamics suggest it's not a mature market share game for the networks yet, as much as they're caught in the middle. Which brings up Sprint in 2011. If true, this makes the networks more spectator to the action than central to it.

What’s new is JavaScript; or rather, the amount we’re applying to solve our problems: Median mobile sites have gone from ~50KB of JS in 2011 to more than 350KB today. Perhaps the global network landscape is shifting so dramatically that the budget for client-side JS runtime has increased. That’s OK.
