Hazards of an Open Tech Ecosystem
• “Lowest Common Denominator” development• Basic HTML 5 used for “everything and the kitchen sink”
• “Netflix Effect”• Hot demand for services like streaming video drives up consumer cost and
fragmentation (mini monopolies)• Choice Overload
• When faced with high number of choices, people tend to go with the crowd• Major player gets cold feet and drops support
• …and others fall like dominoes

Conclusions?
“A digital ecosystem is a self-organising digital infrastructure aimed at creating a digital environment for networked [entities*] that supports the cooperation, the knowledge sharing, the development of open and adaptive technologies and evolutionary business models.”
