Abstract :
Like energy and telecom capacities before, computing power has become a commodity that can be not only bought, but sold and traded. This has opened a way to a completely new world, where nearly everything can be virtual. This trend can be observed in the virtualization of computers, phones and cameras increasingly using software to perform tasks previously limited to the hardware domain, and will soon explode with the Internet of Things, all white label goods possessing communications and thus computing capability.
