I agree that people won't pay to use the Facebook framework (right now) but I disagree that people won't pay to use applications on the platform. Something that it doesn't sound like they covered in this research. The desktop software market is still technically alive and people pay a lot for applications that sit on their desktop. As more people tend to see Web Platforms as distributed operating systems the more they'll realize that it's preferable that an application is installed on a Web Platform (versus their local desktop).
