Nobody (aside from you and a few others) seems to talk about how new technologies affect the fundamentals of an industry - so how the internet affects the nation state. This needs to be the starting point for thinking about a technology: what are the new fundamentals that this technology creates? This is the realm of science fiction more than business, so no wonder people miss out but the fact that they do leave to situations like you're describing.
