Using rocket31's approach to economics, I hope you like your technology as it is today.

Because you're telling every future company that might want to do something big in tech........"hey, go ahead..........and after everyone loves your product..........we're going to demand you give that shite you spend $$$$$ on to your competitors!!!".

Man. It's almost impossible to predict how that might turn out..........wait. No. It's not.

a great example of this is utility companies.

Let me know when the govt tells utility companies that if a new customer shows up wanting to use their infrastructure at triple that structure's capacity.......it's ALL on the utility to cover that tab.

It's expensive to build large factories.

And, if new players want to enter the market, they have to essentially build similar factories.

No he doesn't. Probably because he's a theater major and talk show host.

What he meant to say is that he can't really cogently put together his own explanations beyond saying you sell otter boxes.......so, he needed a stand up comedian to articulate the ideas for him.

This is what passes for intellect and knowledge in 2017.

Do you even understand how most websites make money?

I'm serious, because by making the statement above it shows you don't.

the cost is the same once the infrastructure is setup; the number of GB you use is only relevant to them when their infrastructure is maxed out.

this is where there is a disconnect between old people (who do not understand how the internet works) and younger people

guess which camp you fall into?
