Dear all
In my opinion only the users should be the owners, although nothing would 
prevent  the workers from being users. For me it is the same as when you pay 
for whichever service you need> dentist, shoe repair, etc. you pay for a 
service but the technician doesnt have access to "possession" of your teeth, or 
shoes...Another point of view would be if the workers, apart from connecting 
both computers and maintaining the connection were to involve themselves in 
your communications.
And, of course, what does "own" mean?
It should be an owning which is open to opinions of all participants as it 
would be wider and richer.
Bless you all                      Carmen

Asunto: [P2P-F] Who Should Own and Control the Network?
 
Some say the Workers should be the owners and some say the Consumers
should be the owners and some say it should be a mixture of both.


Imagine you are not connected to the internet, but want a wired
connection between your computer and your neighbor's computer.

Imagine you hire someone to do that work and continue to hire them to
maintain that connection.

Should that worker have some ownership in that very small network?
Why or why not?


Now imagine you and your neighbor connect to other people, and they to
others and so-on until there are thousands and millions and even
billions of connections.

Should the workers that install and maintain those connections have
some ownership in that very large network?  Why or why not?
