To be more accurate, nobody has been able to bypass the gatekeepers 
of content and distribution. There is no way to create the new 
businesses that I have described, because the people who control the 
most valuable content and the most pervasive distribution networks do 
not want these new businesses to upset the status quo.

And then there is the telco mess...

Before you can create these new businesses you need an infrastructure 
to support them.
