Isn't this basically how programming computers works? You take data that already exists, pass it over channels that already exist through hard-wired processors?

I suppose, but I think this comic is more related to how 'mash up' businesses are popping up on the Internet everyday.

Example: Zynga depending on Facebook who depends on Akamai who depends on L3. There are a lot of layers involved.
