Just FYI that I wrote another article, this time on "permissionless
innovation" and the role of open standards.
A nice summary!
No permit had to be applied [for], no new network had to be built,
and no commercial negotiation with other parties was needed when
Facebook started, for instance.
And one consequence is, "No incumbent could value-price its services
so as to extract the added value created by Facebook." But I don't
think that would be very popular at the ITU!
The critical difference is that the IETF is an organization of
*buyers* rather than an organization of *sellers*.
