One interesting fact:

In Erik Egan's post-Prime Time story "40,000 Channels and Nothing On," his two Terrapyres (handles Buck and Fuzz) both work in VR. Because they work in an Internet-focused industry they use a lot of Japanese words. I asked Erik why he chose this and he said that he believes that by that time, that most hard-core webware and cybernetics companies and community will be predominately Japanese.

This is really interesting. We've talked before about franchises consolidating and monopolies sprouting up, and I assume this will be world-wide in many cases. What other industries do you guys think may condense? Or, at least, what countries do you think will lead the different industries?

Hm. There's gotta be a database or website somewhere that lists the top ten companies in major industries. That would be a great resource.
