Finally the era of Convergence is over. Youtube blocks non-partner-devices and 150 server blocks serve up half of the net’s traffic.

We are approaching an era of divergence. Digital Media Divergence implies that users who don’t want to consume ads sooner or later will be excluded from the net. As the business models drive the development of the digital space the free and non-commercial services for communication and interaction between users will soon die out.

Fortunately freedom outside the digital space exists: in the logical space as well as in the physical space. I could do without Compuserve and AOL and I am pretty sure that I can do without the GoogleNet.
