NEW BUSINESS MODELS
“Uber, the world’s largest taxi company,
owns no vehicles.
Facebook, the world’s most popular media
owner,
creates no content.
Alibaba, the most valuable retailer,
has no inventory.
And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation
provider, owns no real estate.
FUTURE ENERGY SYSTEM
“What we are beginning to see […], a new
convergence between communication,
energy, and transportation logistics […]
to create the three internets
in one seamless kernel which is
atop
a platform called the
Internet of Things”.
Something interesting is happening.”
