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.
