How can you escape network effects? Not at all. Thats what they are. You cant force the public to leave this abusive relationship with a privately owned main street. The only thing that could do that- is another layer around the whole eco-system, that subverts it and surplants it. I can not see anyone of the alternatives trying this. Those who pose a real danger (instagram, using the want for generational different medias) are bought. The only way to escape, is to encourage institutional blindness in big companys. Convince microsoft that a desktop windows needs to be on there cellphones and tablets. Convince google that no product except of search is actually viable- and these little turtles should all die fast before even reaching the ocean. Tell facebook, that all that is longterm sellable is user-data, not user-usefullness. The best way to archieve a new competitor, is internal self-sabotage of market dominant forces.
