Currently isolated places [isolated economically] could become very valuable when they are linked by fibre to Cyberspace. Geeks can live anywhere that they have supersonic Cyberspace connections which don't cost too much and which are reliable. They don't need to be downtown in places like London, New York, Beijing, Mumbai, and other megacentres which attracted vast numbers because of economies of scale and the fact that they were where most of the money and jobs were. Somewhere like Rarotonga could be very attractive, at least for part of the year [such as northern winters]. If they also provided advanced living advantages such as no tax and tradable citizenships, they could turn into the economic powerhouses of the 21st century. Detroit has been abandoned [largely]. Pittsburgh's steel economy fizzled out. There's a new paradigm coming. Not just fibre: www2.alcatel-lucent.com Mqurice
