Value of ICT Networks and Networking? The four Network Effects. I. Sarnoff’s Law: Media, Broadcasting networks. Value ~ N (number of viewers/ Eyeballs) Additive. Value for advertisers. Supplyside. Exmpl: FIFA: football – commercials [CableCo’s] II. Metcalfe’s Law: Communication networks. Value ~ N ^2 ( number of participants that can communicate with eachother). Quadratic. Value for the networkoperator. [Telco’s] III Reed’s Law: Number of Tribes you can be member of or not. Value ~ 2 ^ N in cities (Multi Tribe Membsh) Exponential through Internet. Value for (adspiring) people to be one of the members. IV Van Till’s Law: Value for the participants for their unique contribution in network collaborative COOPERATION. Synergy by networked combinations, diversity. Value ~ N ! ( N factorial = N * N-1 * N-2 * N-3 * …..*1 ) New Power by Synthesis! Multiplicative Value for the team empowered participants with unique skills. P2P Coop’s SHARING = VALUE MULTIPLICATION THROUGH NETWORKING Demandside Link : https://theconnectivist.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/np9-engines-for-the-new-power-the-four-network-effects/

Priorities for Smart City architectures in the age of Synthecracy (JvTill 2017)

•  External connections are vital + FttX + IX infra for ICT •  Think in terms of Transit and combinations of a Diversity

of Specialist that Cooperate, independent of time & place. •  Build Communities, Interconnect Tribes (recognize and

support btwieners) •  Interconnect Smart Cities with specialties: Corridoria &

OBOR (entrepot storage and logistics FLOW) •  Open Value Chains with Trust Ledgers (BlockChain) •  Fast reaction and learning of Pull Economy Teams •  Re-Connect Scientists & Engineers of Diverse Disciplines

For further reading [1] See the references and links I gave in the book chapter. Plus: [2] Ancient trans-EurAsian communication can be traced by families of alphabet characters and symbols from India, China and Europe. This is very well described in the book “Alphabets of Life” by dr. Kim Veltman. See: https://theconnectivist.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/alphabets-of-life-great-book-about-our-roots/ [3] More recent (in the 8th to 12th century) where the meetings of scholars from China, India and Europe in what we would now call “the Near East” = Central Asia. Very large parts of worlds culture and knowledge can be traced back from the meetings and discussions of those scholars, astrologers and fortune-tellers along the silk route “universities” and schools. See: “Lost Enlightenment” – Central Asia’s Golden Age, from the Arab Conquest to Tamerlane – S. Frederick Starr; 2013, Princeton University Press.
