Notas do Editor
- Clay Shirky, noted US writer about all things online and digital, is, of course, a best-selling author. I bet his publisher doesn’t just push a button . . .
- To remind audience that the mandate is Part I statistical data only.No mandate or commitment on publicationsWe will continue to sell, including statistical data servicesPublishing Policy is unchanged save for the commitment that 100% of Part I data be freely available in basic form
- Key message: Delta continues the existing practice of stepping up the value chain to find revenues and using these revenues to build improved free services to non-subscribers.This is why Freemium model can work: As new needs emerge, new, innovative, premium services are provided generating the revenues to enable mature services to become free.
