The Mobile Web Initiative Is Important -

Legend Has It That Every New Technology Is First Used For Something Related To Sex Or Pornography. That Seems To Be The Way Of Humankind.

That Idea Of Url Was The Basic Clue To The Universality Of The Web. That Was The Only Thing I Insisted Upon.

The Challenge Is To Manage The Web In An Open Way-not Too Much Bureaucracy, Not Subject To Political Or Commercial Pressures. The U.s. Should Demonstrate That It Is Prepared To Share Control With The World.

Customers Need To Be Given Control Of Their Own Data-not Being Tied Into A Certain Manufacturer So That When There Are Problems They Are Always Obliged To Go Back To Them.

The Web Took Off In All Its Glory Because It Was A Royalty-free Infrastructure . . . When I Invented The Web, I Didn't Have To Ask Anyone's Permission. Now, Hundreds Of Millions Of People Are Using It Freely. I Am Worried That That Is Going To End In The U.s.a. If We Had A Situation In Which The U.s. Had Serious Flaws In Its Net Neutrality, And Europe Did Have Net Neutrality, And I Were Trying To Start A Company, Then I Would Be Very Tempted To Move.
