Hi Dave:

We are running OpenBusiness.cc to collect, share and investigate
emerging business models on the internet. As part of a series of
interviews we have done one with Esther Dyson on the Value of
Attention. I thought this might be of interest to IP readers.

 From the website:

OpenBusiness talked to Esther Dyson about how business models are
adapting to an internet environment that champions openesss. From
Open Source to Open Content, new forms of organization, production
and distribution are emerging. But how can these ventures produce a
revenue and sustain themselves? For how long can we give content away
for free?
