Curious to know the complete story of the phone after this article. Does someone know about it?
That totally works today. Its one of the many applications of blockchain tech due to its "immutable ledger" property. Egs: ipfs.io Besides this there are even many cool applications such as "golem.network- airbnb for computing", "filecoin.io - airbnb for storage" ,"ethereum dapps" etc.

To some extent we are mutually distrustful, adversarial entities and to overcome that we employ contracts, compliance , patents etc to minimize the distrust and this adds overhead of lawyers, lenghty paperwork etc. With blockchain we can solve the trust problem via crytographic means more efficiently.

With distributed blockchain enterprises can make use of each others assets without actually a single party dominating, and with zls layer over distributed block chain they can make use of each others confidential assets without actually disclosing the secrets. Like a customer of one bank can prove his credit history to another bank without actually giving his credit history. A patient of one hospital proving his medical history without actually disclosing medical records. Supply chain efficiencies without disclosing trade secrets. And many other efficiencies and asset sharing.
