But there are a whole lotta other companies banding together to build stuff
using open standards and open software. Apple today announced new work with
sony erriccson and cingular on GPRS and bluetooth, for instance (kewl
stuff), and is openly supporting open standards instead of trying to lock
people into proprietary ones.

Just because some companies are trying to wall off the internet doesn't mean
they will. Remember, AOL tried that for years, and finally had to connect in
and join the net, too. The net is going to prove pretty hard to kill.
