On prices in the digital ecosystem .. I think we're moving into a new world.

Increasingly decisions are made by consumers who never pulled out a wallet and hand it over green stuff. It's just another question and click.

It has reduced salience that it's even "money" or has anything to do with the future wealth or welfare.

At this point how many consumers don't even know how many subscriptions they have?

It took me a while to remember, but the bit about charging by device reminded me of something.

It's the way the in the early days of licencing digital music, some services tried to tie an MP3 music track to one device. I suspect they were addicted to what happened with CD's, i.e. people replacing their vinyl collection ad £14 a pop, for music they'd already bought.

That was doomed to fail and this is too.
