There are many chokepoints. The media/information is one of them. Food, water and energy are others. I expect there are more.

Yes I agree, those are crucial. But if I have the right information I can produce food cheaper, faster than others that don't have the same info, I can locate water if I am informed where it is. With the right info I can generate energy cheaper and more efficiently than others who don't have access to the same info.
