As I make clear in the book, the unbundling phenomenon is a near-universal one on the Internet and its implications for newspapers and all sorts of other products and services have been discussed by economists and journalists for years. My own contribution was merely a small act of distillation. That said, when viewed in a broader historical context, unbundling is indeed something new under the sun and deserves continued discussion.
