For the first time in history, complexity is free

The Three Rules of the Long Tail
1. If you can lower the cost of distribution, you can offer more stuff/variety
2. “More variety” means the ability to satisfy more minority taste, and address more granular markets
3. There’s a lot of “room at the bottom” and all the most interesting things come from the most unexpected places

Econ 101
“In a competitive market price falls to the marginal cost”

“Round down”
If the unitary cost of something is approaching zero, treat it as zero and
sell something else.

A taxonomy of “free”
� Cross-subsidy (razors and blades/cellphones)
� Ad-supported (media)
� "Freemium" (upselling. Old model: give away 1% to sell 99%; new model: give away 99% to sell 1%)
� Digital economics (Underlying cost of manufacturing and distribution dropped near zero, as in music)
� Marketing (free samples to generate word of mouth, multiplied by web’s viral power)
� Gift Economy (Wikipedia)

Intel: “1+1”? How about “0+2”?
![Page 24: Nokia World 2007 Free The Past And Future Of A Radical Price](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/547bddd2b4af9fef158b4f29/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mobile Phones
Cross-subsidy models already in place:
Model Effect on consumers
“Give away” the phones and sell minutes and services.
Carriers only subsidize technology that they can monetize, and limit all other uses. Radically limited innovation and high prices. “Bob”
Free long distance Fantastic! Effect on the rest of long distance market: Catastrophic!
Free off-peak minutes Mixed. Encourages additional use, but results in pricing confusion.

What else could be free?
� Storage, processing—less free than the rest of IT (networks costs + small device costs)
� Bandwidth—much less free than the rest of IT (but WiFi can change the game)
Mobile Constraints:

Future: Web model?
Separation of carriage and services (aka “dumb pipe”):
Carriage: commodity pricing
Services: free
� Google 411
� Full-featured browser, web-based apps
� Local VM management
� Twitter/other SMS-based services
