I think it's entirely sensible to think about the influence that companies like Google are gaining.
Each individual component is a sensible step forwards, but there's no doubt that Google could choose to do some pretty anti-competitive things if they wanted, and in the future there will always be different, more short-term, management in charge

- ori_b 14y agoA big company will always have the potential to do harm. If it's not about what they're doing, but what they could do, then any company that has influence in a market needs to be taken down.
- DanWaterworth 14y agoI'm not against companies having influence; the first thing I said was that I was all for innovation and what's the point of innovating if you won't be heard? The point is that Google are in, not just a position of influence, but a position of control. Google don't need to seek the acceptance of the community at large for SPDY to be useful to them. This is a very different standpoint from, say, Mozilla.
