Bill, that’s good.
Food for thought: Possibly that could be linked with the “delivery” part, such as ISPs, phone and cable companies, satellite radio.
But I realize that’s a trade-off. Consumers are more willing to pay for delivery, but it might make more potential for domination by one or more big players.
Years ago we termed the idea of going to a few major providers giving them the opportunity to “hijack the userbase.” Ideally we want a pluraility of Information Valets” to maximize consumer choice and keep transaction fees down.
