(via JOHO): "David Isenberg's current Smart Letter quotes extensively from a 1998 article by David Reed about why outmoded accounting techniques are leading to a telcom meltdown". Reed - whose work on group-forming networks gave me some of the inspiration for rendezvoo.net - is incredible: he understands and articulates the economics of IT like none other.
Must-read background articles: first Isenberg's "The Rise of the Stupid Network", then Reed's "End-to-End Arguments in System Design".
