Brewster Kahle on NerdTV
Back in the mid-nineties, the original business model of AOL was royalty based. The consumer paid the ISP and the ISP paid the content creator–much like the publishing industry. AOL decided that content providers should pay them for their ?¢‚Ǩ?ìeyeballs?¢‚Ǩ¬ù–much like the television/cable industry. This started the advertising boom on the Internet.
It seems that if allow somebody to control one piece of it [the chain of production/distribution], then they’ll strangle it and they’ll work back up stream and down stream [control other parts of the chain]. . .organizations like to deal with other organizations that are their same size.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
