This is the ideal development

To play the devil’s advocate If history repeats itself (see radio, telephone, television, internet) everything open end up in the hand of few

Maybe RSS? Have been relatively distributed although not as popular

gmail + apple together owns 90% market share for email clients despite SMTP being open.

I think it is a hard question regarding the Internet itself - what't your take?

Yes. I can Create a new email client, but previous data (and maybe even spam filters) does create a moat. Gmail was the first to move on this in earnest.

Outside of siloed countries, the internet still seems open. I can host a server, and everyone can connect to it. No licensing like TV, or radio.
