Monitising the freetards pt.2
In this post I’d like to explore whether P2P could be the basis of a business model that would directly fund the creation of content. Think do with P2P what HBO did with Cable (HBO 2.0?).

Monitising the freetards pt.1
The going rate for ratio is in the region of £0.50/GB – approximately the same as physical storage. Let me restate that – people will pay as much for the ability to download content as they will for the empty physical asset to store it on. Also bear in mind that bandwidth is getting cheaper at a different rate to storage – so right now we’re passing the crossover point – the ‘freetards’, or at least people in their community are willingly paying more for ratio (=bandwidth) than they are for disk.

Well done Le Creuset for honouring your 10 year guarantee with minimal inconvenience and polite friendly communications from customer services. If only more companies could be like that.

Tied down
One contract for voice and data, and enough SIMs for the devices that I wish to use – is that too simple? Am I asking for too little?

Something needs to be figured out so that users can’t pwn censorship rights over networks where the admins have been smart enough to choose a ‘better’ DNS service, but not smart enough to take active control over its management.
