What does it mean when the cost of supply (bandwidth, storage, processing speed) is effectively zero? Does this change how businesses work?
It is easy to say yes, but I have an objection. The caveat is that software is not free. The problem is not even that software is expensive. The problem is that good software is rare. Good tools, good frameworks, good environments. Rare.
My personal experience with V-Sec (now defunct) says that writing, maintaining and changing any system is a non-trivial task. I suspect a lot of the talk about “agility” is by people with multi-million dollar VC budgets funding the best-of-the-best hungry for stock options. Things will really change when the “software” part of the equation reaches zero friction. Then … watch out!
