Synopsis
Excerpt from Information Technology and Product Policy (B): Information Products
Information products stand apart from other products - a scoop of ice cream, a haircut, a ream of office-copier paper, a janitorial service, a personal computer, a country-club membership, a luxury sedan, a factory-construction contract, and so on - in two very important ways: (1) their building blocks are data, a totally different kind of raw material; and (2) they can be delivered in a range of media, physical as well as nonphysical, and permanent as well as transient. These distinguishing characteristics make for a special, multi-faceted relationship between information products and information technology and lie at the root of some rather unique product-policy concerns.
