A professional gambler knows that averaged over enough time and with lots of players the House eventually wins. Why? Because the rules established for game play will always financially favor the House. They have to – otherwise the House goes broke and closes. Individuals can certainly cheat, and any Gambler will have personal winning streaks. But in a House versus lots of Gamblers scenario the House will ultimately prevail. So what does that have to do with the Internet? Well, it seems that there are certain rules established decades ago that ensured that the “House” would always win in a scenario of academia and their research networks versus natural and human threats. Today, many years later, the players in this game are very different while the rules remain essentially the same. The “House” provides a virtual shelter from the weather along with a wonderful venue for gaming, but the dealers at the tables are no longer employees of the House and the Gamblers are no longer random visitors walking in off the sidewalk. The House is about to go broke. See where this is taking us? Time to change the rules. And that’s what we are going to talk about.
