Information Exchanges, Big Business?

from the every-market-is-a-billion-dollar-market dept

A new study predicted that the online information exchange market would be worth $50 Billion by 2005. I think it's too difficult to even get a grip of what this market could be worth because the definition of an information exchange is pretty vague. I have to also admit that I'm a little skeptical of such a large predicted size due to the fact that one of its competitors will be the net itself, after all it's the largest free (usually) information exchange marketplace.
