This is great. Everyone assumes that with these changes and advanced technologies, our human nature changes and advances too. -not the case. However, where in the public sector do we see things like "platinum" status? I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I can't think of it.

The roads aren't going to be privatized. However, the maps are. At what point does google maps become a utility that is somehow regulated by the state?

I don't recall the post, but at some point kleinbl00 made the point that Google will eventually own the digital toll booths of the world. -powerful stuff. Bing is at least giving it a crack.
