The net should have provided for charging small (or large) amounts for access to some content from the beginning.

The difference between 1000 and 10,000 accesses is that you can make the same profit with 10,000 accesses at 1/10 the price.

Here's the deal the Net has to make with publishers: you will no longer have the overhead of physical reproduction. In return, you will pass those savings along to those who use and those who support the Net.

In order to make that deal, the Emerging Global Netocracy needs leaders and negotiators. It already has the Power.
