All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again. Decentralizing will be great until people realize that they need access to information outside their enclaves, then there will be another push for centralization. Additionally, who are these People the author writes about? All of the tools cited, while freely available to anyone, are geared toward power users in installation and operation. That doesn't sound like "The People" to me; it sounds more like an elite group (although a pretty large and diverse elite group, within itself). If all you're going to do is stand by the highway and wave signs and shout slogans, I wish you well with that plan but I don't think it's going to work. The people you're opposing (who are actually people, too) have got better and more convincing arguments, as well as positive results that matter to their customers.
