You know the quote: "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product"
Consider the "inverted economics" used by TV manufacturers whose surveillance strategy of collecting your data resulted in you getting a $5,000 HDTV deal for $500 at Walmart. By invading your living room, monitoring your behavior and habits, you willingly provide a lifetime value revenue stream. Could Samsung be on the path of selling millions of $500 smart surveillance refrigerators instead of just a few expensive $5,000 ice boxes?
What's more, the declining compute cost of Artificial Intelligence means more analysis across more data sets meaning the value of fresh data will increase. Interconnections using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will allow your TV, phone, computer, tablet, watch, smart home devices, and cloud services to monitor every part of your life. An ad on the fridge door will be so quaint.
What I wonder about is how the internal silos at companies including AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and Alphabet will be allowed to compete. We see AT&T killing copper landlines in favor of wireless; Comcast desperately wants to add content value (NBCU) to its dumb pipes; Verizon looking for new revenue growth from AOL/Yahoo; and Alphabet abandoning their broadband efforts for the moment.
A long way of saying, all the big conglomerates are placing chips on several markers and will they let the market affect how they react internally?
And hopefully progress continues and enables competition from SpaceX satellite internet, 5G wireless, mesh wifi, and reallocated TV/radio bandwidth.
The issue is more that selling for the usage by advertisers.
When you consider the largest ISPs are becoming the largest "content" sellers, the mere knowledge and use of these data is a competitive advantage with potentially harmful impact to customers.
Certain search behavior throw off signals that you are looking for a job or unemployed. This feeds the billing system to be alert for late payments and triggers collection.
Certain search behavior indicates you favor sport and never watch local TV channels. This informs the negotiation for licensing local carriage contract in advance and in real time as it goes public and gets nasty. Fight: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/business/media/12disney.html
Control the money, control the politics. The SIFI cabal can only effectively control the world when they have their own currency and bitcoin can be that solution. Dimon might believe what he says, but Lloyd Blankfein down the street is already on the other side.
Inverted economics like TV's

Someone should buy the olivegardenTM.com URL since they have not trademarked their name.

FYI - NYC public school vending contract has Pepsi as exclusive products, having replace Snapple as the beverage of choice.

Global Corporatization needs currency

Littering says a lot about you.
You who?
Who you?
Yes, you in the picture.
