Majority of Fortune 100 Companies To Have Own Virtual Worlds By 2013

Fascinating vision from Mr.Topf in his interview of THERE.COM CEO. "... And let’s think about a possible future scenario: OpenSim has grown substantially, more and more businesses have started to use it to build alternative grids, Linden Lab has finished their first version of their interoperability protocol, theoretically and practically linking all those grid together. Growth might be quite substantial, too. Corporations might choose to host their own internet or even external marketing grid with more or less loose links to the rest of the grids." I will go further and predict that the majority of leading global enterprises both in the old and new economy will have their own internal "behind the firewall" virtual world with extensible 3rd party access in 5 years. Stay tuned ...
