There must be many advantages to the new, proposed paradigm (is there a list?). Among the advantages you would hope that it would save a ton of money. So, would you address the economic issues of the existing and proposed paradigms, please?

I think that the new paradigm will be considerably less costly starting almost immediately. I think people will want to know more about that.
