A myriad of magazines and information services feed our society with information, and kiosks sell them. I think that is what is going to come to be the norm in electronic markets.
Predictor: Markey, Edward
Prediction, in context:In a 1994 article for Wired magazine, John Browning writes about key legislative decisionmaking expected to open networks to competition from top to bottom, quoting Rep. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance and co-author with Jack Fields (R-Texas) of a key piece of telecom-reform legislation known as the Markey-Fields bill. The bill would force former telecom monopolists to provide competitors with access to their wires, switches, etc.; would allow cable companies to provide phone service and phone companies to provide video programming. Browning quotes Markey: ”Think of publishing. In most communities there are a couple of newspapers that readers have access to that are in many ways equivalent to the network. A myriad of magazines and information services feed our society with information, and kiosks sell them. I think that is what is going to come to be the norm in electronic markets.”
