Andy Grove’s Law
Telecommunications bandwidth
doubles every century
A billion people in advanced economies may have between them
two billion and six billionspare hours each
day
It would take the 340,000 workers employed by the motion
picture and recording industries in the United States...assuming each worker worked forty-hour weeks without taking a single vacation…
between three and eight and a half years…
to equal the amount of free time
a billion people have
each day!
Even taking into account different levels of talent, knowledge, skills and resources,
a billion volunteers have
qualities that make them more
likely to produce what others
want to read, see, listen to,
or experience...

People power
Taking control of your
value
Ask not what you can do for your operator,
but what your operator can do for you
Change the paradigm
