The old hippies at @NZComCom force Harold Demsetz turn in his grave by using profits to assess competition. So 1960s. Died after his 1973 paper.

If so, you wonder how @NZComCom explains the survival of: legacy media, dot.com industries, MySpace, Yahoo, Uber, airlines and new or high fixed cost industries. More on that later

I don’t see the variation here that the @NZComCom does (except that long thin countries are at the top)

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
