Here is David's excellent PowerPoint show that tells us why the Future of Networks is in Community. In short, the early days of networks that were based on one way push was content = TV networks in the 1970's. The next stage was (The Dot-com era) connections = the early web. Now the value is in building communities (a two way process) such as EBay or Amazon's way of using customer reviewers. Explains to me the failure of the idea of "convergence" by the media who are stuck both content and connection.
This is a huge idea and changes the idea of value
