The vale of openness







The vale of openness

The vale of openness 06/05/2005 10:58 PM

In a Ne w York Times article today about AOL's future, one of its excutives makes a remarkable comment:


"My biggest problem is the walled garden," said Mr. Kelly, who runs all of AOL's Web properties in addition to ad sales. "The world can't see the good stuff we do every day."

This is AOL, the company that virtually defined the model of keeping information off the public Internet and available only to its subscribers. It now realizes, at least to some extent, the positive network effects of openness, which companies such as Google and Yahoo! are tapping into.

Now, if only the broadband and wireless companies who are rushing to build new walled gardens could get the same message....

For instance, when I buy this mp3 player, what will it let me do, and how am I restricted? I've come up with a simple 4-point scale of openness from crippled products that subvert standards to lock you in (remember DivX?), to complete freedom (palmOS or modern hardware).

    Michael Powell on Internet openness


    Michael Powell on Internet openness 02/10/2004 09:20 AM
    FCC Chairman Powell challenged broadband platform providers to ensure "Internet freedom" in a speech yesterday at the University of Colorado.

    Powell didn't advocate FCC action to ensure broadband openness, but he made it clear that he took the threat of closed networks seriously. This is important. If there is consensus that the cableization of the Net is a real possibility that would have terrible business and public interest consequences, we're making progress. Then we can fight over whether, in fact, that scenario is materializing.
