On-demand Services

IBM partners launch on-demand services
Quote: “The tech titan’s new “computing on demand” program, launched last month, is intended to allow companies to buy information technology the way they purchase electricity, paying a monthly bill for services.”
Comment: Very short article…curious how long it will take to get this in education…and for that matter, what the impact of it will be…IBM has committed significantly to the concept of computing on demand (to the tune of $10 billion). It is a dramatic change in the role of technology. Basically tech becomes (as it should be) a utility - selected based on need.
