A Gold Rush for the Digital Plumbers
So, where’s the money in all this? While you could just invest in Amazon or Alphabet, I think the real opportunity lies one level deeper. Think of it like a gold rush. You can bet on a single prospector finding a nugget, or you can invest in the chap selling the picks, shovels, and sturdy trousers to everyone. When a structural shift this big happens, it’s the enabling infrastructure that could see explosive growth.
Companies that provide the digital plumbing and security for this new world are suddenly in a prime position. We’re talking about the firms that manage network traffic, ensuring data flows smoothly and securely between different cloud environments. We’re also talking about the cybersecurity experts who have to figure out how to protect a business that no longer has a simple, single perimeter. These aren't the household names, perhaps, but they are the essential cogs in this new machine.
