The Web began dying in 2014. André Staltz writes about how and why. In a nutshell, traffic from mobile and tablet devices now surpasses that from regular desktop computers and of that traffic the overwhelming majority goes to either Faecebook or Google. Amazon is also in there. None of them have any interest in defending the open Web any more. Rather the situation is the opposite, they are aiming to carve out a section and establish very isolated walled gardens. Net Neutrality, or the lack thereof, lie at the heart of their plans based on the direction they have moved since 2014.

    Ah, but c0lo, what did you think "death ground" could possibly mean? And yes, even Sun-zi was well aware of this. The only winning move, is not to play? Or, one might think, to play a different game than your enemy/partner thinks they are playing? We will carry on, will we not?

    Oh, magister, really... do you even need to ask?
