ROBERT STEELE: It has been my privilege to know Stephen E. Arnold, arguably the top IT industry and emerging capabilities analyst in the English language, for over 20 years. Back in the day, my Open Source Solutions audience got bored with the In-Q-Tel briefs and asked me to cancel them — Arnold was consistently 15 years ahead of In-Q-Tel. True then, true now. He is about to do for Amazon what he did for Google a long time ago with the now revolutionary Google Trilogy. For those who like to have weeks or months worth of advance notice about changes not yet visible to the public, note the email and subject line that can be used to buy a private briefing on a non-disclosure basis, right now. Payment in advance, and a non-disclosure contract, are required.
