Vinton Cerf:
> Starting in 1973, when my colleagues and I proposed the
> technology behind the Internet, we advocated for an open
> standard to connect computer networks together. This wasn't
> merely philosophical; it was also practical. [...] Our
> protocols were designed to make the networks of the Internet
> non-proprietary and interoperable. They avoided "lock-in",
> and allowed for contributions from many sources. This openness
> is why the Internet creates so much value today. Because it
> is borderless and belongs to everyone, it has brought
> unprecedented freedoms to billions of people worldwide:
> the freedom to create and innovate, to organize and
> influence, to speak and be heard.
