Agreed. In fact the trend that you identified for enterprise was discussed in this 2006 InfoWorld article: http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/07/28/31FEmashup_1.html 
 
Gartner has a more recent discussion on this: http://www.gartner.com/it/products/podcasting/asset_184657_2575.jsp 
 
From what I have observed, internal imperatives and usage (for collaboration, business intelligence, data-mining, etc.) seem to be the starting points where enterprise mashups are likely to have a start. 
 
I think this "internal" value will help accelerate the creation of more "external" or customer-oriented mashups, thereby "crossing the chasm." 
 
Thoughts?

These are all great points and the innovation is solid. The one aspect that will need to mature over time is security. Mashups are a great way to connect internal and external capabilities but there needs to be a balance to ensure sensitive data can stay protected within the enterprise adoption of this capability.
