OpenInternet Application of the Principles to Mobile Broadband

The law used to be in place and it should be restored.

There cannot be any jailed and/or locked devices. they must all adhere to all the public protocols any user would like to use. I'm talking to you Apple and AT&T.

There should be a vast swath of beachfront bandwidth allocated to free multi-way service.

If there were such a swath of bandwidth, then anybody anywhere should be able to add to the national information... more »
