There is 30-40 years of history of digital services, some of them paid for, some of them seemingly free (which means paid indirectly).

Once upon a time there was the analogue telecommunication network. During the 1980s, this network was digitised, with voice being coded by ITU-T G711 recommendation, at 64 kbit/s. The voice channels of 64 kbit/s were grouped by groups of 16, and one of such 64 kbit/s channel was devoted to signalling (that is protocols, now replaced by the famous "IP protocols").

Some digital services emerged, through the development of an overlay Videotex network, which piggy-backed on the digital telecommunications (voice telephony) network.

It was named Captain in Japan, Prestel in the UK, Bildschirmtext in Germany, and Minitel in France.

The French service environment MINITEL proved to be very successful commercially, to the point that when the Internet started growing in the mid 1990s, this paid-for service was what people wanted and were used to, causing a delay in adoption of Internet in France.

It was a cash cow for the main operator France Telecom, and very propular with users, although it had nothing free, except maybe the supply by the telecommunication operator of the device named minitel to the end user.

Another form of digital service which is intrinsically paid for, and not free, is the mobile connectivity (from mobile devices like smart phones of tablets, laptops, etc).

There was an early stage of smart phones, when smart phones able to connect to WiFi were artificially prevented to do so if there was no SIM card in the telephone. This restrictive (and abusive) feature has been removed since.

In the mobile case, even if the web sites accessed are free to browse, the communication cost is covered in one way or another, by someone (be it your coffee shop "offering you free WiFi" but overcharging you the coffee price, so that the coffee price tag comprises the communication price tag).

Of course next to this, there is the free Internet domain, with great developments such as WIKIPEDIA (free encyclopedia), or GUTENBERG (free access to classical literature), and many more of the Internet platforms and services.

IT ALL SEEMS FREE. The theory has it that digital is paradise, because duplication/replication is free in the digital domain. YES it seems free, but there are in the backgrounds the equivalent of over 30 nuclear power plants powering the data centers of the world (see article of New York Times of 2010, it can only be more today).

THE COST FOR THE PLANET IS HUGE, energy is consumed for what seems futile: in the old days it was calls "I am on the train, I can't speak", now it is a video uploaded and replicated, it is large e-mail attachments moved back and forth with no real need... (imagine you move back and forth a piano between your home and you office... It's similarly unneeded most often).

Sustainability needs to be introduced...

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG,

In my opinion, the development of Internet information services will be determined by technological progress in the field of new ICT technologies and advanced data processing techniques typical of the current technological revolution, known as Industry 4.0.

The development of information processing technology in the era of the current technological revolution determined by Industry 4.0 is determined by the application of new information technologies, for example in the field of e-commerce and e-marketing. These solutions are the basis for business success of the largest Internet technology companies that offer on the Internet information retrieval services, data collection and processing in the cloud (eg Google) and providing information services on developed social media platforms (eg Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tweeter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and others).

Hi Dariusz Prokopowicz ,

Greetings..

The main determinants of the development of online information services are consumer behavior and online search for product/service information is a relatively innovative area's.

The current technological revolution known as Industry 4.0 is motivated by the development of the following factors: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence and other advanced data mining technologies. The mentioned information technologies in connection with the improvement of ICT and communication technologies, with the progressive process of increasing computing power of computers will become an important determinant of technological progress in various branches of industry in the coming years.

On the basis of the development of the new technological solutions in recent years, dynamically developing processes of innovatively organized analyzes of large information sets stored in Big Data database systems and computing cloud computing for applications in such areas as: machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence are dynamically developing. , Business Intelligence. Added to this are additional areas of application of advanced technologies for the analysis of large data sets such as Medical Intelligence, Life Science, Green Energy, etc. Processing and multi-criteria analysis of large data sets in Big Data database systems is made according to the V4 concept, ie Volume (meaning number of data), Value (large values ​​of specific parameters of the analyzed information), Velocity (high speed of new information appearing) and Variety (high variety of information).

The advanced information processing and analysis technologies mentioned above are used more and more often for marketing purposes of various business entities that advertise their offer on the Internet or analyze the needs in this area reported by other entities, including companies, corporations, financial and public institutions. More and more commercial business entities and financial institutions conduct marketing activities on the Internet, including on social media portals.

The abovementioned information and communication technologies combined with the improvement of ICT techniques and the implementation of Business Intelligence analytics to the processes of economic and financial, economic, macroeconomic and market analyzes carried out may be instrumental in efficient and effective management of economic, investment and enterprises processes.

More and more companies, banks and other entities need to conduct multi-criteria analyzes on large data sets downloaded from the Internet describing the markets on which they operate, as well as contractors and clients with whom they cooperate. On the other hand, there are already specialized technology companies that offer this type of analytical services, develop customized reports that are the result of multicriteria analyzes of large data sets obtained from various websites and from entries and comments on social media portals.

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG,

The development of Internet information services is increasingly determined by technological progress in the field of Industry 4.0. Similarly, the development of electronic banking, the development of fintechs and social media portals is also increasingly correlated with technological advances in advanced information processing determined by the development of new Internet information technologies of the current technological revolution Industry 4.0.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?
