Quote:Two problems.
Feeing to death the internet is not in the best interests of the companies. They make more money with lower fees on far more transactions, then high fees on a decreasing level of sales. Promoting the growth of the internet will do great things for their bottom line. Nerfing it to death will not. You do not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
1 - Corporations do not operate in a vacuum, but are instead susceptible to pressure from, say, power-hungry juntas that've lied their way into office. Those profit-motive groups of which this is not true are called 'cartels'. Or 'mobs'. Or whatever. They don't, as a rule, own infrastructure, which is part of the point, here.
2 - Corporate entities, viewed as organisms, are demonstrably not that smart.
Ja, -n
