Is Amazon ready for the Flatnet Era?

How would China survive in a flatnet world?The problem for China, according to Francis McInerney, Managing Director of North River Ventures, is its endeavour to impose the ruling communist party as "center for everything“.The communist Party censors even the internet because of the web’s ability to bring large groups of people together for collective action. Impressively, China has today the largest and most sophisticated online censorship in the world.  The Great Firewall, software that has cut China’s internet off from the rest of the world for years, presents a huge obstacle for many foreign enterprises seeking to gain a foothold in China.A question which arises, is whether China can survive and grow in the world where everything it does, must be kept behind the Great Firewall and all foreign markets are on flatnets?

Automakers face major catastrophes if they don't monitor their velocity of information. Learn about what companies like Apple do to ensure their velocity of information is at the top of their industries.

The core of a FlatNet is its fast, flexible and efficient harnessing of Cloud dynamics by everyone connected to it.

Flat architecture has a lot to do with the information cost velocity curve. Over the years, some companies end up falling off the curve due to how they are structured, which is why the companies start to restructure to become more flattened out companies. This flattening is between not only management and their employees but also suppliers and the ones they're supplying to. Since the amount of information that needs to be known is being increased, so is the number of people who need to know the info. The CDN (content distribution network) is increasing and stretching to reach more people, which creates this need for companies to be flattened.

Like all the FAANGs, and every major company in the future, Netflix mist scale at The Rate of Cloud Inflation or fall off The Information Cost-Velocity Curve, the dominant force in civilization, and die. But, the global common carriers who, today, are the arteries of Netflix Cloud-born information to its customers, can’t do this. Some of the issues with these common carriers come from the idea that people are using wifi more than they use cellular data. This paying for data can be taken out completely and wifi can be used only which is good for customers of Netflix, however service providers will lose money. What will happen?

Huawei’s real problem is that has monster operating challenges while it also faces the challenge of customers too indebted to buy its 5G products. There is a huge disconnection between Huawei's customers and the company itself. This causes the information flow within the company to be poor. Which is what leads to these operating challenges. Comparing Huawei to other companies who are within the same industry, the company again shows how it doesn't scale. This also has a lot to do with management. Information Velocity ( DoS I + AR) = 110 Must use suppliers to bank this Operating income 0.6 of R&D, so the company doesn’t scale FC Management Grade from F to D Meanwhile, as FC listeners know, the world’s common carriers, who are supposed to buy from Huawei are too indebted to do more than a small roll out and must be restructured end-to-end

Carlos Ghosn has been arrested in Japan and will likely spend a year in jail there, awaiting trial. And he will not be allowed access to a lawyer during that time. The problem is simple: Japanese companies don’t like to pay competitive, global incomes to top managers. For the most part this means that they must settle for third-rate performers overseas. And live with the miserable market shares in the 7X markets (GDP of EU+US = 7X Japan) that result. When, for every dollar they sell in Japan, they should sell $7 in the 7X, they usually reach 25-30¢. All because they won’t pay enough to get the share that their products usually deserve. And they stay uninformed about the Information Age and why they have no FAANGs and can’t create them. Along comes Ghosn. Rescues Nissan. Demands real money. And gets it. Big resentment. But Nissan, like all Japanese companies, has a board made up of company executives, not outsiders with a fiduciary responsibility for oversight. So the Board is sloppy. Doesn’t do its

Two more reasons China is facing massive problems, as discussed by Future Creators founder Francis McInerney 1. Excessive reliance on unstable state (Party)-owned companies that exist outside the discipline of markets or the rule of law. 2. Roads and buildings that are crumbling visibly as fast as they are built. Recorded 1/25/2019

Alexander Graham Bell founded AT&T in 1877.  His world is finally about to crash and burn.  US carrier service growth is slowing for the first time since the Great Depression.  But, today we are in a 10-year-long boom!

The administration thinks import taxes are an “easy win.”  But FutureCreators know that Information Velocity is destiny.  Supply chain management is a subset of this. Slapping import taxes on an IV-driven SCM diminishes your position on the Information Cost-Velocity Curve kills value. Recorded 11/2018

Information Velocity (Days of Sales in Inventory + DoS in AR) tells all about SCM.  Big number?  Poor SCM. Don’t try to compete with this; you’ll get nailed on price and terms. Small number?  The world is yours.  You sell cash to customers and deliver products.  Their CFOs love you forever.  You’re locked in!

Many people think that your brand is the value of your company name.  Not even close.  Brand is managing your customers' experience of your product.  You do this where the three Cloud Membranes intersect.  Your information Surface has to cover that space and inflate with it as the Cloud inflates the number of intersections there.  Can’t keep up?  Welcome to Japan!
