I was kind of, sort of, waiting for an overly network because we need to connect all the servers farms when we to go to the next level beyond static pages downloaded from the servers. Or selling CDs and books. Then we have to start thinking about e-gov because we will have a 'walled garden' of the government networks. Huge stuff. Imagine the data base of all hospitals networked. Picture the customs and excise part of the gov. We can picture the rest... Then we have a 'walled gaden' of all the insurance companies. To it is connected all the carmakers that input the cars data into it. Then all the banks that sell insurance policies will tap on it. Then you have the carmakers themselves with seven development centers spread all over the world and the whole lot of their suppliers. (I wonder what Thomas would be thinking now) Then we have to think about the legacy data (I can't recall the percentual) stored in tapes. These are, in themselves, THE 'walled gardens'. When I tried to thing about the interplays it lead me to believe that the only possible solution would be an overlay atop the existing network.
