Crystal ball

John Battelle has put up his predictions for 2006.

Here’s one I like in particular,

9. The massive telephony industry will begin to crush mammals left and right as its core business model continues a long and painful death dance. “Mammals” are defined as anyone who happens to be in its way as it attempts – scarily but unsuccessfully – to force a two-tiered Internet onto all of us.

To that “long and painful death dance” you can hopefully add mass media, the mammoth advertising and public relations agencies, etc., etc.

Here’s to the coming year.
