They Keep On trying to Steal The Internet

Perhaps the only real protection we have against those who are trying to destroy the Internet, is that those businesses that are most strongly in favour of that destruction, are themselves moribund and in desperate straits. This excellent piece from Doc Searls; How to get past the intellectual and political logjams that threaten Linux and the Net. looks at the threats that are growing and the race between the diseased systems that regulate for profit of business models that have been superseded, and those who understand, grasp, and demand more of, the benefits that are provided by the net.

Unless we can react a point where the rest of the business community depends so much for its functionality on the free and open, end to end model of the net before the financial collapse of the businesses who can;t corner it and beat money out of it, we are in serious trouble.
