Even with some recent Big Data companies coming into their own, I still think it's early days for where Big Data can go. The healthcare sector seems an especially ripe area that hasn't been fully exploited. With drug development still so expensive, it seems likely that a Big Data breakthrough could push the total cost down by an order of magnitude.
The biggest thing that I didn't see mentioned in this VC post was the impact of something like AWS. Sure, data storage costs have dropped. But the real cost savings is being able to harness thousands of processors by the drip. As the cloud processing costs go down, the Big Data market will go up and up.
