When I read these things I constantly find myself struggling between, "great! Another attempt to re-take the internet!", and "great. The n+1th attempt to re-take the internet." I can't decide whether the better future is homogenised internet similar to what we have today, but with these protections layered over it, or whether the best option is for there to be dozens or even hundreds of disparate networks that will grow up separately. In some ways, I suppose this is similar to the past - what with BBS homogenising in to newsgroups and AOL. "All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again"
