Externally-hosted
Web 2.0 providers: What if the services
|
|
|
provided by
Google, Yahoo, etc. prove uneconomic and the services

are shut down or
the terms and conditions changed, with perhaps

|
|
free-to-use
services becoming subscription services?

information providers: What if the services provided by
|
|
|
individuals
within our institution, who use Slideshare, Flickr,

|
|
|
redundancy, early
retirement, etc.?

institutions: What if the economic downturn affects the

services: What if the national services provided for our
|
|
communities are
similarly adversely affected, with users preferring
|

|
|
|
|
|
Our funding
organisations: What if our funding bodies have less
|
|
|
funds available,

provided to
national or institutional services?
|
|
|
|
|
Our user
