I am totally AGAINST government regulations of the internet.

Regarding ethics, it’s really subjective category.

Some things on the internet will be free. Some will be paid, A balance will always be needed :)

Best wishes,
Steve Public

Very interesting post. It has many great points to it. Though a totally open web is a great idea, I doubt it will ever actually exist.

Chapeau, Michael. In these days dominated by "Politics", how refreshing to see some genuinely radical political thought being applied to the technological domain as a reminder of why those of us working in it are (or should be) doing what we're doing. I've been doing some work recently with a creative arts organisation who do a lot of work with learning disabled people, and have similar ideals, in a very different domain, about what accessibility really means (in their case, as it relates to art). I'm fascinated by how your concept of universal read-write digital access might scale to those with learning disabilities.

Interesting read. The ‘having a chance to publish on the web’ part has been put forth very well. While reading this I was reminded of one of BBC’s own recent documentaries – ‘The Virtual Revolution’.

Thanks everyone for your comments; one thing I would like to point out however is that although this is my blog this post was written by my friend and colleague Michael Smethurst.

Super Super post Michael. Looking at the comments though, it does seem that some people are confused to who’s the author.
