Many companies have been making attempts to redefine the terminology of Internet since the inception of the World Wide Web. These often include new explanations, structuring, or methods of services. Here are some examples: The ISP (Internet Service Provider) is very old. The SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is old. The AWS (Amazon Web Service) is old. The AC2 (Elastic Cloud Computing) is not so old.

  We now make references to "Everything as a Service", such as SaaS (Software as a Service), HaaS (Hardware), CaaS (Communication), IaaS (Infrastructure). This has brought to our attention that Everything as a Service will be the new buzz word for the Internet in the upcoming year.

  Not everything can be serviced on Internet, but many things are moving in that direction. For the purpose of the following example, we will define that "Anything" is substitute by "X", and that XaaS hereinafter is any word that can be use to as-a-Service. The philosophy of XaaS is to enable ways of living into services.

  In everyday life, one can buy a car, or "rent a car" (as-a-Service), buy a condo or "rent an apartment" (as-a-Service). Essentially, any way of living can be seen as properties or services, except for consumable products (food, printer ink, gas, etc.). However, in the digital world, anything can be viewed as a property or service. For example:

- Application Software (aaS): This is what most people classify as a SaaS. Standalone applications (Windows, Office Suite, Virus protection, Graphic Editor, etc.) have flourished incredibly with the support of major forces, such as Microsoft and all other venders buying into their philosophies. The new trend has been led by Salesforce.com, Zoho.com and GoogleApps. The use and need of applications are now offered as a service and ultimately most business applications will be available in this fashion.

- Hardware (aaS): Most companies run their websites from their own servers, although there are many websites, which uses hosting companies (Godaddy, Interland, etc), which offers hardware resources as a service. We are able to upload our website, and pay for computer usage.

- Search/Directories (aaS): We utilize large directories (YellowPages, CityGuide, BusinessGuide, etc). The search capabilities provide an index of the Internet as a service. We are offer search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, etc.), structured categories (Netvibes, myYahoo, etc.), and socially-networked links (Delicious, Digg, Reddit, etc.).

- Information (aaS): The use of newspapers is one way to broadcast events. The web embodies vast information sites (Nytimes, BoingBoing, CNet, MSN, etc.). There are also sites that specialize in providing organized information (Wikipedia, Wikileaks, etc.).

- Market (aaS): These are sites that enable the sale of goods by the owner of the goods. These sites are what truly make the market. This group includes auction sites (eBay and Taobao) which take a percentage of every sale.

- Payment (aaS): Paypal dominates this market with its brilliant viral service although Google is rumored to have competitive capabilities in gestation. Traditional banks missed this opportunity entirely, which is bizarre since payment transaction is supposedly their business.

- Retail (aaS): Retail, particularly the success of Amazon, is what launched the web as a business eldorado and the amount of retail on the web continues to grow every year.

- Security (aaS): Sophos, Kaspersky, and others offer security as a service. The actual mix of what you get varies; Spam filtering was the initial security service and this industry has been growing from there.

- Backup and Storage (aaS): Online storage as a service has been available for quite some time. More recently, Mozy had garnered attention as a from-home backup service and attracted even more attention when EMC acquired it.

- Communications (aaS): It is arguable that communications has always been sold as a service, with the telephone being the access device. In any event, there are now a plethora of new communications services (Skype, NetPhone, etc).

- Collaboration (aaS): Webex was the first collaboration as a service web site. Now they are more collaborations which are elevating methods to collaborate live (GoogleWave, CollectiveX, Backpack, etc.). Some are more relevant to the virtual world which some companies have used as a venue for virtual meetings (Second Life).

  The list for Anything-as-a-Service can go on, much like the business opportunities for the Internet are endless.
