You say Successful platform vendors will put the publisher at the center of the world in a sellers market for eyeballs. Maybe not. See what happened with AOL and techcrunch.

In real life, most mountains like Everest are actually getting bigger. Perhaps the same is happening with the internet.

I agreed with the idea in this article but let’s face it, if the bigger internet companies feel threatened by a small guy, they can just buy them out.

I think most large companies feel that investing too much into the internet could be unproductive. My feeling is that a lot of companies would consider that spending twice as much on marketing in magazines, newspapers etc. will produce twice as many customers, but spending twice as much on internet marketing might not. For a small company or individual entreprenuer, the spending twice as much on magazines, newspapers etc. might not be an option at all financially, but investing their own time (effectively nothing as they don’t pay themselves a salary) is far more viable. So as far as the internet is concerned, I think you are right; lots of new hills being grown daily flattening the mountains.

If you consider other industries, such as banking and insurance, it is very difficult for newcomers or smaller firms to compete with the big boys and they maintain dominance. With so much money to play with, and invest in high calibre employees and research technicians, the internet world might not get any flatter at all. In fact, if the bog boys start buying up smaller firms, the hills might get even bigger.
