In a speech at an MIT symposium, Berners-Lee compared access to the Web
with access to water. While access to water is a more fundamental right,

between the modernist trope of technology saving us and the technooligarchic
One Laptop Per Child. But on the other had, with the disparity between the
world's rich and poor widening daily, I can't really be against
I think you're going to find the opposite - end of net neutrality in the
usa and rampant privatization. It's a culture war, this time in anything
other than name...
