Fwd: Future Internet is not a net
by Michel Bauwens 31 Oct '11

Dear Sepp, the ideas of Bob Frankston, on 'abolishing pipes', make a lot of sense, I wonder if you could present them to our readers? Michel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bob Frankston <Bob19-0501(a)bobf.frankston.com> Date: Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 9:00 AM Subject: Future Internet is not a net To: Michel Bauwens <Michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> It was good talking to you at ContactCon.**** ** ** I happened across your old post asking for comments on future of the Internet. **** ** ** I go into these issues in my various writings but it may be too radical for your audience since I don’t accept the idea of a network as anything more than an emergent property. Instead I start with relationships and factor out exchanging bits as a plumbing issue.**** ** ** You might be interested in http://rmf.vc/ThinkingOutsideThePipe as well as the longer essays I point to. In http://rmf.vc/AmbientConnectivity I provide a framing focused on enabling applications rather than the networking itself.**** ** ** The limitations of the Internet are solved not by engineering a solution to each one but by a dynamic process. I first started writing about that in 1997 when I wrote a chapter about the limits of Moore’s law – http://rmf.vc/BeyondLimits.**** ** ** ** ** -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

Fwd: Towards a World Currency ?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dante-Gabryell Monson <dante.monson(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 12:14 AM Subject: Towards a World Currency ? To: econowmix(a)googlegroups.com http://www.columbia.edu/~ram15/cema2000.html is this what is currently happening ? http://www.columbia.edu/~ram15/cema2000.html#worldcurrency Towards a World Currency excerpt : The political limitations of that solution, however, would make it difficult if not impossible to negotiate. It would greatly increase the power of the United States and leave the world at the mercy of potentially aggressive unilateralism. "The temptation to exploit its monopolistic position and raise the inflation rate to maximize off-shore seigniorage would be too tempting." // * * *Robert Mundell* *C.
