The sad, inevitable fate of the Internet

It's starting to look like the Internet Everywhere will become a tightly government controlled, tightly government monitored network, without neutrality, with a small number of companies in primary control. That future if already here in many ways, and over time. Those trends will accelerate. Very sad.

Look on the bright side — it's one day closer to large scale adoption of the distributed web...
