Just read this long one by Doc Searls. Interesting points and views all through.

But what i am wondering now is how US legislations and rules impact technology worldwide. This is scarier for me (a non-US) than what Doc has to say. The kind of control that US is exercising (not intentionally evil ofcourse) may be because most of the content and means for content distribution originates from US. And again i wonder why countries like Japan and Korea, who seem to be taking technology (mostly mobile related) to dizzying heights, are not into proposing and formulating rules for mobile space. Maybe they will, someday, when the so called "villian" equivalent of SBC, Verizon start to act. Now that may lead to another problem if there are conflicting opinions on say new content delivery systems. Maybe there would be cross country lobbying and maybe there will be an international organisation that would decide what is best for the whole world.
