I mean, the Internet has always been a product of some kind of Nash equilibrium. It has been since its inception as a part of the nuclear project - when maintaining atomic warfare parity between states was crucial.

Since the Internet opened up, it has been revolving around parity between the states, corporations and general public.

We don't necessarily *like* each other, in fact, all three sides hate each others' guts. But, without clear path to victory over another, for each of our own sakes, the Internet must exist, neutrally and equitably.

I think, that equilibrium is slowly eroding, and us comon folk are basically stuck between a hammer and a hard place here.

The only hope I see here, is that it's ultimately us who build this network. All the other parties just claim ownership of what we've built. Talk about labour alienation. It's all they can.
