All living on the Grid?Walter Mossberg on the Future of the Internet and
Rise of the Cell Phone:
the PC has peaked, and the future of the
internet belongs to pocket computers: The
internet is a grid," he remarked, "and we're
all going to be living on it, and carrying it in
our pocket all day long."

From somewhere on the Net:
“Why does Google insist that it’s goal is to
‘organize the world’s information’?
Because it’s figured out one of the deepest secrets hidden at
the heart of 21st century economics:
Markets, networks, and communities can organize
economic activities radically more efficiently than firms.”21Friday, July 11, 2008

The End of Control as we knew it:
A huge paradigm shift: it’s not total control that wins in tomorrow’s
markets - it’s total empowerment.
It’s no longer about certified and central authority and the ‘select
few authorized professionals’ but also about the combined power of
masses of people.
It’s no longer just about actions guided by one’s own concerns and
immediate gains (economic egoism) but also about considering the
effect on the ecosystem - the network - as a whole

Making money with Free Content?
BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor told BBC
News that the body was prepared to ... take
ISPs to court. "There is a phenomenal amount
of piracy out there and we believe that the
idea that 95% of content on the net is free is
not sustainable. We don't believe that society can allow the free consumption of content to persist," he said.
