Just thought I would post a note about a book i am currently reading. I am reading it as part of my degree study of the "digital economy". Anyone who is a) on this board and b) has an interest in economics will find this very useful and relevant. Contents: The information economy poricing information versioning information rights management recognizing lock in managing locking networks and positive feedback cooperation and compatibility waging a standards war information policy Although for each of these chapter headings you will say - "I know what that means", actually these definitions are used in different ways to how you might usually use them. Excellent, insightful and academic book. Get it from your library or something! Information rules Written by Shapiro, C. and Varian, H.
