This is, quite literally, pretty much every consumer-facing startup. Uber anyone?
As an aside, the very idea of "free markets" is a myth. Markets only function effectively with strong government. Period. Let's see how far anyone gets in a libertarian fairy land without courts.
ARM's IPO valuation is pretty much based on jacking up licensing fees too.
We need to get back to the idea that companies are vehicle for generating income without the endless expectation of growth at all costs.
