I like the comparison to unclaimed land. While other industries are heavily regulated, requiring legal compliance and investment, Internet publishing is still largely open. In my view this is one of the reasons why the online service economy is booming in the US, where others are in decline.

I'm curious because I didn't realize this was a trend. Can anyone share some more info/sources on the decline outside the US?
Please read it as the decline of other heavily regulated/unionized industries relative to the booming online service sector within the US.
Oh I follow now.. thanks for clarifying!
