Yogi,
Did you already post this article from the Mercury News? If not, you'll probably like it (though many of us won't, as it is a plug for the coming ubiquity of networks):

One of the problems I have with this "everything on the network" notion is, how will software companies stay in business? Will people pay something every time they use a program? Or will they buy a license from the network to use xyz program or game for 123 time? Or perhaps they'll have a license key stored on their computer that will "unlock" the software on the network when they log in? Seems confusing to me, but maybe it's just different. We'll see how it'll play out.
