[ NNSquad ] Internet Content is King -- Or Not
Greetings. Apropos the discussion of "content wars" in both the wireless and non-wireless Internet arenas, it could be useful at this juncture to review Andrew M. Odlyzko's 2001 paper "Content is Not King": http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/833/742 Whether or not one agrees with his premise in the context of 2009, it's an important and very useful read, especially in terms of providing historical context. Andrew was head of the Mathematics and Cryptography Research Departments at AT&T Labs when he wrote this essay. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
