The evolving Net has forever changed the structure of business.
-
Information Carriers realized that nearly everyone would have to be attracted onto the system before it would succeed. Hence, they worked together to achieve universal access to the Net in a short period of time.
-
With this relatively smooth transition to the networked economy, almost all of business has been pulled onto the Net creating a very competitive business environment.
-
Even though all Information Carriers are associated in some way with large content providers, there is no restriction that they must buy from internal sources.
-
Many small, innovative companies have formed which produce engaging and creative applications and programming that the Information Carriers are more than happy to carry. These small businesses are able to earn a handsome profit by developing applications and programming for the Information Node as transactions are sold on a per-use basis, with the price varying between services.
-
While the Information Carrier receives a small percentage of each transaction, the majority goes to the application developer.
