Stock trade is a Segment Zero of the stock brokerage business. It is at a much lower cost with poorer qualities. The advice you get and the service you get relative to having your personal stockbroker is not the same. The question to ask is: Is it good enough? Is it good enough for a large segment? Is the segment for whom it is good enough growing? And if the answer to that is yes, is it going to cause a Strategic Inflection Point for the brokerage industry? Or the Internet and the data that it has used to date -- is it good enough for now? The answer is no. I can almost imagine that providers of this service say, this is a joke. Like CB radios. [...] this technology is going to get better, and ____________________ good enough for an increasing population. And if so, it is going to bring a Strategic Inflection Point for the ordinary telephone company.
