Either something is free or it isn't so how do we monetize it differently? Micro-payments? Pay-per-minute? Added value (bulk pricing)? ALL these ways and more exist now. No sorry, everyone says 'in the future things will be different..." but no one has any reasonable, practical ideas or solutions as to HOW thngs will be different. Let's face it: we have reached the limits of content delivery. Maybe robots or holograms will be the Next Big Thing.
I'm guessing the reason nobody has offered 'any reasonable, practical ideas or solutions as to how things will be different' is because most reasonable, practical people know how it's damn near impossible to in good faith predict such a thing. It's usually not until after a lot of trial and error a lot of risk and a lot failure that a new technology a new model, or some other future innovation can be truly considered as 'disruptive'. The only reasonable, practical prediction one can make with any type of certainty whatsoever is that there will be change. From what I can tell that's exactly what both Shap and Roald have done. How is that so difficult to understand?
