Jim,

As you've no doubt already surmised, I've also been searching for analogies to this dynamic (the paradox of the best network) in the electric power sector, as well - or more to the point, in the power transmission & distribution realms. While I don't feel that the 'paradox' is as absolute in power as it is in communications connectivity, to some degree mediation and alteration, as I mentioned earlier concerning comms networks, have already been manifesting for a number of years through market manipulations that most observers regard as normal, if not entirely "natural", occurrences.

It's been my point all along that perpetuating or prolonging a model based on artificial scarcity needn't be achieved through openly obvious and direct means, but instead by simply prolonging and reinforcing the life-cycles of the types of architectures that support manipulation, thus making it possible in the first place. Such models continue to prosper long after their original deployments, but most interestingly, they survive and flourish now even more so after their architectural shortcomings were first revealed in the context of present-day realities and requirements.
