Many thanks. Question. If we focus on the temporary ad hoc ecosystem that forms around the concert event (pre, during, post), what are some of the related services that we see appearing? Obviously t-shirt sales, etc. I am specifically interested in services influenced by the digital revolution. It sounds like an opportunity for some wonderful niche applications and services. Cheers, Douglass Turner email: turner@mmedia.is Absolutely wonderful analysis. Many thanks.

With figures like this, no wonder you were skeptical of my 'music-IPO' idea Roji. Amazing numbers. Sheesh. With figures like this, no wonder you were skeptical of my ‘music-IPO’ idea Roji.
