Your theory is thought provoking but it seems to fall under the same problems as the others. 1. How do you regulate that companies are actually giving things up? People will hide things if it's beneficial to them and there's very little you can do about it short of becoming the police state you said you didn't want. 2. How do you deal with the fact that some entities will have more resources than others to make use of that open data? It doesn't seem to level the playing field as you suggest. If you think that you can force them to level the playing field because their pursuits will be open as well, go to 1. 3. Innovation, competition, defense, dealing with other countries who won't act the same way and a long etc. While I understand the abstract concept I'm not sure how much thought you've put into it with regards of the practicality.
