"During the first era of the internet — from the 1980s through the early 2000s — internet services were built on open protocols that were controlled by the internet community." <-- is this no longer the case? Did something happen to HTTP and HTTPS or the underlying IP protocol suite ? Isn't everyone still free to purchase a domain name and plug a computer to their network and serve a website?

The premise that the first era of the Internet was the 80's through 00's is flawed. The modern web? Maybe, but web !== internet. The protocols he touts where firmly established by the early 70's
