I have only just begun reading this rather lengthy article by Doc Searls, so I am storing it here for later. He spoke on some of these issues when he spoke at UNC last fall. You can look over that presentation here. I read about the article at Dave Weinberger's blog. Dave points to a number of other discussions on the article, but does not appear to be so hopful himself.

"Saving the Net: How to Keep the Carriers from Flushing the Net Down the Tubes"
By Doc Searls on Wed, 2005-11-16 02:00. Industry News
We're hearing tales of two scenarios--one pessimistic, one optimistic--for the future of the Net. If the paranoids are right, the Net's toast. If they're not, it will be because we fought to save it, perhaps in a new way we haven't talked about before. Davids, meet your Goliaths.
