Brings me to think about the future of computer networking and computing in general. Will the further development of the electronic on-demand industry prompt the creation of its own computing environment? Example: Imagine that the market for on-demand media and entertainment, and online services become so big, and so desired, that people would actually accept the DRM protection "rootkits" in order to get a lower price for the services they buy? Imagine the ficticious future where ISP's have to pay license fees for the potential abuse of copyrighted material in their networks? Isn't it possible then, that this could make ISP's provide an alternative for the customers: 1. A cheap closed network with lots of imposed restrictions. 2. An open network, where you could do everything you can today, but have to pay a whole lot more? /Björn Interesting indeed.
