[I'm really enjoying the discussion in this thread, thanks all!]

If we do end up with a new vastly distributed factory then the question 
becomes how do we build a similarly distributed and decentralised system 
to orchestrate it?  There are already many startups (3dhubs.com, 
WikiFactory, OpenDesk...) staking out their fences to enclose the 
commons... sorry, building platforms to enable this brave new world.

How do we celebrate and encourage the messier, less homogenous (and so 
harder for consumers to engage with) decentralised solution, rather than 
cheer the next wave of Uber-like businesses to roll through a new 
section of the economy?

Cheers,

Adrian.
