One
of the interesting things about the development of the Internet,
is many people believe that the organizations that control capital
in a particular economic environment have the power to decide and
implement any Internet based economic system of their choice. This
could not be farther from the truth. The only economic systems that
will ever work on the Internet are the systems that make economic
sense, and leave room for virtually all parties to operate.
When
we create an Internet system to accomplish something, there are
not countless ways in which the Internet will work. In the beginning
of the Internet many people believed, and some still do, that the
Internet enables lots of different people to create all kinds of
economic systems that will work, and that only their imagination
will limit their possibilities. This kind of thinking does not work
in the cyber world or the real world. There is usually one best
way, and sometimes two reasonable efficient ways, to create any
marketplace on the Internet. For example, there are not 12 great
ways to sell plane tickets. There are one or two best ways. There
are not thousands of solutions to SPAM, there are one or two solutions.

There
are not several methods we can efficiently use to solve the copyright
problem as it pertains to music, there are one or two best ways
to handle this. So if you are in the position of trying to think
of how to implement the Internet for a particular purpose, ask yourself
“What is the Internet method that will be working 50 years from
now?” That’s the method we should implement now. Finding the socioeconomic
model that will work is easiest accomplished using the services
of a Licensed Internet Architect who has background in Law, Economics,
Business Processes, International Culture and Politics, and classical
and Internet architecture. But unfortunately today, there are no
licensed Internet Architects, because schools are only just starting
to make the curriculums now, and our youth have not yet had the
opportunity to complete the education. And government has not created
a program to license Internet Architects. Thus, we have to do our
best with what we have. But after a system has been created, it
should be analyzed by an economist, an Internet lawyer, someone
familiar with International cultures, and a software engineer. And
actually, the curriculum for advanced Licensed Internet Architects
requires condiserably more eduation than doctors, or lawyers, or
virtually any other profession.
