I’m reminded of a news report from the 1970s about the availability of drugs that were no longer available on the market. It is now common to hear the term “supply-side” used in economics. One of the most frequently used terms in this area is “monopoly.” This term is usually associated with an oligopoly where one or more companies have a monopoly in the market.
While the word monopoly doesn’t have as much of a long history as supply-side use of the term, it has come back into vogue thanks to the Internet. In the past, the Internet made it easier to share information than it is today. Sharing information was no problem because the information had to be transmitted over a network and that was the only way that the information could be used.
The problem with sharing information was that it was not always secure. If you could send an e-mail to a friend and it were sent to a person that the friend could not access because it was sent over the Internet, is that information secure? You could send your e-mail to your friend and that person could access it, but you could also send it to someone that they could not access, and they could access it.
What if someone had to connect to your e-mail address and they were unable to access it? What if the person had to talk to you and you could not access it? You could send the e-mail to someone that they could not access. If you can’t communicate with someone they can’t access, you might have trouble with the message.
There are two things that are required for a service to exist, that is, you must have a monopoly on the information and the ability to deliver that information to someone who is not able to access it. That is, the service must be easy to access for some people and difficult to access for others. In the context of e-mail, the first alternative would be that it is not possible to access the e-mail address of a person that you do not communicate with.
That’s not the problem. The problem is that we don’t want to have to send e-mails to people who we don’t know. That’s why we had to invent the telephone.
The telephone system was invented to solve this exact problem. Since most businesses do not have to send e-mails to their customers, they can charge higher prices for the service. Of course, the same thing applies to e-mail too. Ths is why businesses are so much better off with e-mail.
This is a great problem to have, because you dont have to spend money on every customer. You can charge less if you dont have to send an e-mail to every single person who deals with you.
This is the classic example of the problem of using e-mail for convenience. You have people who are not using e-mail for legitimate reasons. You have an e-mail provider that has to pay a premium for the service. The e-mail service provider will charge more for the e-mail you want to send to customers who have used e-mail for legitimate reasons.
