Rafe Needleman tap into a long-standing concern of mine, networks that don't interoperate. Examples abound: instant messaging, social networks, push-to-talk, VoIP. While customers benefit from network effects, he writes, companies simply see it as lost revenue. In the field of learning technology, there is nothing like a network - all the interoperability promised by various standards allow only vendors to interact, but never allow users to access the entire e-learning system. Some day, some how, this is going to change.
