Open Source Continues to Change the Business World |
 Brighton (UK), July 2009 -
Is the business model of the future one where the customer no longer pays?
Kineo explores the ideas of author Chris Anderson's book "Free: The Future
of a Radical Price" and its implications for eLearning. Anderson argues
that people are generally suspicious of 'free' and that, generally, they
have been right to think this way. Most existing business models have
tended to demand that somewhere along the line, somebody has to pay. But
this, he says, is set to change. Andersen argues that in the digital
world, everybody else can be subsidized by only a very few paying
customers.
