The only thing that scales infinitely and without cost is end-users.

Phi Beta Iota: Managing Project GEORGE (Smiley) for CIA's Office of Information Technology, followed immediately by the privilege of creating the Marine Corps Intelligence Center (today a Command), and then 20 years helping 90 governments (66 directly) get a grip on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), are the foundation for understanding how to create a World Brain and Global Game that is infinitely scalable. Proprietary software by its very nature is not infinitely scalable in part because it sharply limits the number of end-users that can interface with the software. The monetization as well as the security attributeshave moved from the T to the I, and most simply do not get that.
