In stark contrast, the last four years have seen continued improvement in drone technology, much of which cannot be put to use. In an increasingly global market both for consumers and entrepreneurial talent, even a slightly more efficient approach to regulating can make all the difference.

It is consumers that have made Africa the fastest growing mobile market in the world. But so far they've concentrated their marketing power at consumers, and invested in selling mainly broadband-related products to the corporate sector. The market is completely open. That is where the results are already visible.

To date, the trend has been associated with fairly standard products, such as customer relationship management software, web servers, or SQL databases, but the theory of the innovator''s dilemma suggests that it will most likely move up the stack in the future.

The healthcare industry has long relied on traditional, linear models of innovation – basic and applied research followed by development and commercialization. The results can be technically sound, but sub-optimal from the patient’s standpoint (as any woman who has endured a painful mammogram understands).

Information technology, however, is one of those industries. In cloud computing, we’ve seen these network effects help solidify the position of massive players – locking new entrants out of the market. Today, new transportation vendors like Uber, Lyft, Zipcar, and Grabtaxi are changing our relationship with cars.

Every few years the same piece of technology gets re-announced, and it's as important as ever. Its appearance marks a markets' phase transition from early adopters to mega-profits. Undo matters, in other words, because its appearance almost always signals that a market has gone from fringe to mainstream, with profits set to follow.

Among those in the market, the stand-out alternative is SugarSync, a product I have used for many years, whose innovation was to allow multiple folder syncing directly from the user's own documents folder. That does not bode well for it as a stand-alone company. I suspect that the Apple option is looking better everyday.

Twitter’s market cap just plummeted after a bad earnings report. Given that news, it seems that businesses that have dominated their markets are learning that the magic elixir of network effects and winner-takes-all advantages are about as reliable as cures for baldness. What markets have these companies actually won?

The businesses attacking this massive market are quickly finding both a variety of customers and enormous access to funding. But even with the emergence of large global players, there is still lots of opportunity for new transportation disrupters to claim new niches in the market. But what will that future look like?
