I realise that if users of *some* legacy systems can employ circumvention it's still a problem, but the migration to mobile platforms is rapid and significant, and they are much less susceptible to user customisation.
that's probably true, but I'm not sure what follows in the context of this group. The return of walled gardens and gated access to Internet infrastructure - incumbents' dark desires - appear part of the problem rather than of the solution to me - even if that happens by customer "demand".
It's not so much "walled gardens" of content, but "locked down" clients accessing whatever content their suppliers (of hardware and tied-in connectivity) permit the user to see. -- Roland Perry
