| Résumé anglais |
For those who recall the «battle for no-cost access » at the turn of the century, recent news from the infosphere will sound like an unimaginative remake. Open access, subscription, advertising, fee for service – these terms have colored the last ten years.And yet, how much has changed since the Internet bubble. Giants like Google or to a lesser degree Facebook have developed and strengthened their financial success on very narrow but very lucrative niches (advertising links) while continuing to offer increasingly powerful services free of charge – to the great mass of internet users. « They » try to « monetize » content that Internet users have created or enriched. For just a few euros a month, listen to music streaming without a device or barriers. Scientific and technical information is developing its own means to compete with traditional print media. Services are developing, some people are making money but, rather than forcing us to choose between free and paid service, many have understood that the key resides in a combination of the two. Furthermore, beyond this legitimate search for return on investment, the emerging notion of « knowledge commons?» reminds us of the importance of preserving, even of developing, a « not-for-profit » activity around information.
