I spoke on a panel at Carriers World conference yesterday, and in the session before mine the Chief Strategy Officer of Liberty Global included two amazing facts;
- the price of memory has fallen dramatically - one megabyte cost around $7000 in 1956 when IBM launched the RAMAC 305 - and now its a matter of cents
- the consequence of this? - the CTO of Liberty predicts that a high end PC or laptop in 2010 will have 60 Terra-bytes of memory. To put that in perspective you could save 2 hours of TV programming everyday for 75 years and still not fill the disc!
What happens to the TV industry and the Ad industry when that happens?
