The new economics

A lesson on economic by Shirky. We can look at the failure of ZapMail from FedEx as an example of the changes in economic structure as the internet pervades into our lives. The example of ZapMail shows us why the telecommunication industries of today had better look at their faulty business models with the advent of Wi-Fi and Voice-over-IP. I, for one, find Wi-Fi very convenient and as VoIP pervades into the consumer market, it will be a greater enabler of keeping people connected together.
