In a slightly different guise, wasn't this debate raged on the ATHM thread over open access. As long as the "public" bandwidth is insufficient to accommodate e- commerce needs wrt speed and QoS (it kills me use that term), then private alternative will thrive. And in a free market economy this could be a permanent transition to a private web. Initially these may be quite separate networks of glass (LVLT, GBLX, MFNX etc)with affiliated or separate ISP/service providers (ABOV,EXDS etc). But Metcalf's law (value = F(n**2)) and the demands from ever more sophisticated B2B clients should encourage the peering agreements to preserve the ubiquity of net access; albeit at a cost to both the virtual business tenants and their clients. So with private initiates flourishing (Telecos, ISP services etc) you are expecting an even more rapid deployment of bandwidth and proliferation of the e-economy. Right???? It is fun to speculate, Steve
