Irreducible base cost
A main difference is that the prices can't drop as low as in the digital world. There is a hard to reduce cost for:
- quick attainment of large amounts of raw materials
- quick attainment of large amounts of energy
Both mostly determined on land.
This may effect the rate of replacement of large scale constructions such as the replacement of asphalt and concrete in Upgraded street infrastructure and the replacement of iron train tracks.
Compatibility
Open wrappers for closed products (in a general sense)
- hardware adapters software adapter libraries
- liberation from forced brand loyalty
- example: Windows to Linux and others OS's by multi-plattform software
- example: industrial robot wrapper project [todo: add link]
Entirely open whole system
- no more individuals reinventing the wheel => accumulation of performance capability
Lifting of complementary blockades
- proprietary good at: profitable luxury goods
- free libre good at: non-profitable necessary goods
=> mutual motivation by (unexpected) competition (friendly or hostile)
