The Internet is not a Rose Garden- but it does fundamentally level the

playing field in Media.

On Cable and ‘good old TV’, the Studios and Networks ruled

In a Broadband World, the Users - and their Amplifiers - rule *

...and the big Studios will, too;)

Reality check: we need, and we will have both ‘The Networks’ and

‘The Networked’

Mobile, social, cheap & fast Broadband

Access

Whatever I can get

Exactly what, when, how, where I want

Going Direct is becoming a real Option

But it’s still very early...!

In this age of Ubiquity it’s all about Attention

Digital Media: a fight for attention - not for distribution!

Attention... comes from conversation (not Monolog)

... is personal... is spread by ‘tribes’

... is generated when you give and share something

... is based on Trust... can be converted to income at the right time, and in the right way (the toll-booth challenge)
