Who we are, where we’re headed and what this all looks like on the “other side” of the pandemic are topics on everyone’s mind right now. So are vaccines. So is online shopping, with urgency.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change.

I think it can be presupposed.

They provide the fundamental infrastructure that keeps the entire digital ecosystem running, but they are a utility service of sorts, and thus don’t have much to differentiate themselves beyond providing a consistent on-ramp to the digital world –and how much they charge for said access.
