So, there's definitely a biz model in there. The other big problem that W|A will highlight is that there are big gaps in consistent data that is available. W|A can build a big competitive advantage if it ties up exclusive rights to difficult to find, yet valuable datasets with revshare deals.

Looks like the nemesis of specious arguments. As I understand it so far Wolfram Alpha adds to the huge body of consistent logic in Mathematica a new body of consistent data.
