In the internet age as in any other time in history, whoever controls the communication channels win.
For now IMO the winners are: Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple(on the top but sliding down?), Amazon, US Gov, NSA, CIA, FBI, KGB, Russian Gov, Chinese Gov (win by block out others), Badu, Alibaba, WeChat, Line, SnapChat,
For now, the losers or losing players are : Yahoo, Nokia, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Liberian Gov, Ukraine, Egypt(almost?), Most of Japanese Electronic firms.
you forgot that behind all those are financial firms like Goldman Sachs.
without their fake money schemes Facebook for example would only have it's revenue money, which is pretty lower than all the investment money they have.
