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
