It’s incredible how big business has focused almost entirely on business model innovation in recent years. The last decade has been nothing but figuring out how to charge more, create recurring revenue streams, skirt regulations, download costs, eliminate competition, etc. Not that companies weren’t doing those things before, but usually they had to provide some sort of improvement in product or service or price as an excuse to ring fence and monetize their efforts. Now it’s just “I bet if we did nothing but change the way we charge money for things, we could make more money!”
