When Mobility Met Web 2.0

imagine
a PC industry where…
- broadband ISPs determined which PCs customers could buy
- ISPs determined which applications a PC would use
- creating applications involved mandatory certification, restrictive licensing and exclusivity
- wifi was licensed spectrum (ahem, we paid how much for 3G?!)
- could such an industry have given rise to the web & windows economy?
- without openness, user-generated content, the web, wifi, open source and two decades of industry growth would’ve been much smaller
