The last statement that “free customers are more valuable than captive ones” is merely an opinion though. It would be great to see some data which shows that. I guess “valuable” you would measure with the conventional analysis functions like click rate, and so on.
So “if” we would turn this relationship around and place all of my personal data onto my personal chip aka smart card controller with a standardized web interface, it might technically work out. But I also sense the business rules or policies how I interact with different services will be a real challenge. Don’t forget that we got great web based products and variety due to the existing web 2.0. The possibilities and profit are a big driver for this inventions. If we lock up personal data, it’s hard to predict if we will continue with the same pace.
