We’ll have a consolidation of long-distance voice and data communications into one model. The Internet is a more legitimate cost-effective way than a private network for a small organization to have worldwide reach.
Predictor: Clark, Jim
Prediction, in context:Mosaic co-founder Jim Clark made the following comment in a 1994 article in Network Computing Magazine: ”We’ll have a consolidation of long-distance voice and data communications into one model. The Internet is a more legitimate cost-effective way than a private network for a small organization to have worldwide reach. Extend the idea beyond e-mail. Say you want to retrieve information, or use something like Mosaic to coordinate your worldwide sales force, technical support program or information dissemination. In a natural process, phone companies will have to account for it.”
