Let's just hope grandcentral isn't going to outsource transcriptions to India like phonetag. I think it’s a pretty safe guess that grandcentral will have transcription.

All your fancy-dancy four dollar words and your "business strategies" aren't going to change the fact that all successful businesses come from hard work with founders who stay the course.

There is also the annual cost of any magazines or databases - these are a few of the things that also come out of library operating budgets. The cost of an opening day collection for a new library in a new facility is generally part of the cost of building the facility. After that purchases are part of the annual operating budget.

There will of course be legal experts, and financial experts, but I think they will make their money being sources of information on the internet -- we will need attorneys to argue cases and write briefs, but that's not middleman work and so is outside the scope of what I'm talking about. Check out SueEasy.com and AllRise.com -- two sites that are making legal work easier for the masses by combining knowledge bases.

My only quibble is that some people (I'm thinking of financial advisers and attorneys in particular) are more than just a conduit for information---they are also a repository of complicated knowledge. It's one thing to have the information available, but another to know what to do with it. “real estate agents, financial advisors/planners, medical diagnosticians, tv cable providers, internet providers and anyone else who makes their living off being a conduit for information”
