We can think of the "meta data" as the covers of YOU'RE books. Now the covers of of each book is all Dewey Decimaled in happy ones and zeros format. Your book covers.
Still with me?
OK.......
"when we go in that library and look for the books that we need to open up and actually read."
He said it, not me.

Well if all you are going to save is the covers of the book, the "meta data", how the heck are you going to actually read the book if you didn't save the pages?

Ever get the feeling that somebody might be fibbing?

It is the 3 parties (TELECOMS) that 'collect' and own the meta-data Tx4obama Jul 2013 #1
