Should parents have to play this roulette with their weeks-old infant?
I wasn’t just up against the end of my parental leave. I was up against an entire culture that places very little value on caring for infants and small children.

"The fundamental reason is competition," said Steven Hartley, Practice leader for Service Providers and Markets at telecoms and IT consultancy Ovum.
France and Britain -- where you can get an unlimited data plan for as little as £27 ($41) -- each have four national mobile operators. The same goes for Sweden, where the cheapest 50 gigabyte plan is roughly $46.
Meanwhile in the United States the handful of so-called national operators don't really fully cover all of the country. At any given location only one or two may be present, plus a small regional player.
"Of course where you have less choice you are going to have higher prices," said Hartley.
The situation is in some ways ironic, given that the United States is generally seen as the paragon of free competition which is supposed to lead to lower prices while the European Union ties companies up in red tape, thus causing higher prices.

Sometimes the cost of obtaining a good through the market is more than the price of the good. Coase’s theory explains why companies exist. Sometimes it’s more efficient to hire someone, for example, than to simply contract with this person through the market.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are a form of digital money. The underlying concept was first proposed in 2008 by an unidentified creator and the first working version was developed as open source software in 2009. Cryptocurrencies enable alternative financial frameworks that support global transactions without the need for a bank. There are now more than 200 cryptocurrencies in existence.
Professor William Knottenbelt, Director of the Centre, said: “We are on the brink of the next digital revolution. The College is in a unique position to harness the potential of the technology that currently powers cryptocurrencies. Just as the industrial revolution and the internet spawned innovation, so too will this technology, opening the doors for new business models to be developed and helping existing companies improve the way they do business and the way communities live their lives.”
?
what if the next revolution is beyond business..?
Cryptocurrencies are based on a distributed computerised ledger that acts like a digital book keeper and accountant rolled into one
The creation of Imperial’s Centre comes at an important juncture for the further development of distributed ledgers as governments and companies around the world are exploring the potential of adapting them for wider applications.
Dr Catherine Mulligan, Assistant Director of the Centre from Imperial College Business School, added: “Cryptocurrencies have shown us that we do not need a third party – a middleman – to successfully process transactions between users.
Many financial institutions are focusing on how they could use distributed ledgers to improve banking, but we feel the potential applications are much broader and far-reaching. It could spawn completely new modes of doing business. The opportunities are limitless and work at the Centre aims to make the adoption of distributed ledger technology by society as smooth as possible.”
...For example, for traders in precious commodities, distributed ledgers could enable them to authenticate the origin of precious stones such as diamonds.
In the longer term, the Imperial team predict that distributed ledgers may enable the exchange of value by devices connected to the Internet of Things. This is where physical objects such as fridges and televisions will be embedded with electronics, sensors and wireless technology to collect and exchange data. For instance, distributed ledger technology could in theory enable a home, connected to the internet of things, to automatically predict the electricity consumption of its householders. It could then electronically set up short-term contracts to purchase energy from electricity suppliers, or even nearby houses producing their own surplus off-grid sources, ensuring the home’s electricity needs are managed in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
Centre is also exploring ways of using distributed ledgers within local and national government. For example, the technology could enable government agencies and departments to share data more effectively, reducing costs. It could also enable local authorities to improve transparency for citizens and open up new channels for interaction.
