Innovation and Net Infrastructure
Aug 29, 2007
Last Friday, outspoken blogger/entrepreneur/NBA team owner Mark Cuban published a post called "The Internet is Dead and Boring" that declares - among other things - that the Internet has become a "utility" and that it "has stopped evolving."
GigaOm's Om Malik gives his take on Cuban's "theory" on the state of the Internet in this post yesterday. Malik focuses on what he sees as the key point: Cuban's opinion that Internet infrastructure is not sufficient to support continued innovation online. Malik agrees that more attention needs to be paid to "back-end" infrastructure in order to realize the potential of a next-gen Net that offers robust interactivity.
