    John,
    I read the NYT article the day it was published and merely brushed it aside as propaganda. You are correct when you state "these companies simply don’t know how to monetize these markets because they don’t understand the complexities involved." However, there are also many companies who do understand and are rationally pursuing these markets for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. The winners in these new contests may not represent the status quo. This is why the technology continues to be viewed as a potentially disruptive, double-edged sword. Rational actors are not evaluating opportunities based on the advice of the NYT. No worries.
