While the idea of selling and controlling one's own data is enticing, would people actually be willing to set up the requisite hardware/software to manage it all? I can imagine a sort of "black box" that manages user preferences but for the average person who doesn't necessarily care about privacy, the proposition of earning a few dollars a month doesn't seem like a strong motivator.

Everyone has a phone, and a private cloud to securely store data is not terribly insecure if done right. Life-Privacy as a first class feature of mobile OSs could be a huge opportunity to giving people more control over their data. I don’t see google doing this, but Apple could.

No, and they shouldn't have to. The few dollars a month shouldn't be the primary the motivator, but it's hard to imagine--even, perhaps especially, for those of us pining for such a future--an internet in which our identities are not bartered for fractions of a penny.
