? The horizontal economy | blogs.zdnet.com | Service-Oriented IT | ZDNet.com

An interesting outlook on the future of business integration where tight electronic links enabled by web services will create a true 'horizontal economy'

OTH, in their current form web services may overwhelm today's internet infrastructure because of the sheer volume of near real-time transactions required for full integration. Seems we'll need a more robust internet. Of course researchers are already devising the next generation.

We are so much in the internet's infancy, it's hard to see what it'll become. As they say, "You ain't seen nuttin' yet!"
