Web2.0 - New Products and Services
As there is a huge user demand to communicate via networked consumer electronics and to access and share content from multiple sources across multiple devices high speed data flatrates and ubiquitous broadband are leading the way from Web1.0 (DialUp) to Web2.0 (Broadband 1-6Mb/sec) into Web3.0 ( beyond 10Mbs) .
Broadband has driven the emergence of new Internet trends, platforms and technologies and as Web advertising grows and revenues from software licencing shrink IT enterprises have to explor different models of delivering software to customers. It's likely now that free, ad-supported versions of software products will enter new and existing markets now and will be available on-demand.
Building the next-generation information infrastructures now exploiting these Internet-style products, services and interfaces
means to embrace the Internet's unique strength which lies in letting users personalize their news, communication and entertainment online, in Web logs, search queries and personal software.
