The takeaway here is that rather than invent some high tech wacky thing, just target some existing cartels/government monopolies. Hotels (AirBnB), telecommunications (Facebook versus AT&T Bell), taxi services (uber/lyft), broadcast television (netflix), radio (spotify), and spaceflight/rocketry (SpaceX) come to mind as successes.
What else is there?
- Boeing - Just need to invent a better commercial passenger airplane
- Lockheed - The day of 150 million dollar manned fighter jets is coming to an end.
- Electricity distribution - PG&E or Southern California Edison. Only way to crack this is with decentralized power
distribution and batteries
- Waste Management - Trash collection, recycling, and processing
- DeBeers Diamonds - Diamonds can basically be synthesized in the lab at will now.
