![[DigitalGardenAnabasis/machupicchu.highway.png]] We can compare Machu Picchu with the USA highway Route 66. It is a public service. It has given birth around it to a successful economy composed of hotels, restaurants, garages, industries, doctors, etc. in many cities. Nobody owns Route 66; nobody owns Machu Picchu either. With Machu Picchu, "data is a public service".
