There may be a stumbling block in the shape of space flights as there's no such thing as a free launch.
I'm not sure about the 'Google generation' intuitively understanding etc. but I always feel I'm taking for granted the ability to access information...yes it does arouse the interest Mort.

I like the bit that says everything will be free, even flights. They'll give you a free flight he says and charge you for your baggage! Ryanair and Easyjet virtually do that already.

Yesterday I cycled to Tesco just to buy a light bulb. On the price label it said 'Buy one get two' which seemed to be the same as BOGOF so I took 2.

At the checkout they charged me for 2 bulbs and when queried it they said I had to buy 3 lightbulbs in in order to only pay the price of only one bulb.

Let that not go unapplauded

But the author is not practising what he preaches:

In Business spoke to Chris Anderson ahead of the publication of his book, Free: The Future of a Radical Price.

Free: The Future of a Radical Price: The Economics of Abundance and Why Zero Pricing Is Changing the Face of Business (Hardcover)
by Chris Anderson (Author)

RRP: £18.99

The evidence would suggest that here is such a thing as a free (book) launch, where the BBC and this article are concerned. I thought they didn't do advertising?

i've paid £0 for a flight to edinburgh from manchester, with only the £28 statutory taxes to pay. i even got coffee and a biscuit (could have had a newspaper too).
