Bruce Sterling: This is the most innovative year since the beginning of the web. There's blood in the water -- Google's buying. Bubble 2.0. It's gratifying to see what's happening now. Commons-based peer production is getting legs. Something I was complaining about for years. Flickr is not a copy of anything else. Wikipedia is not a knock-off of anything else. Without historical president. Websites that turn themselves into platforms rather than site -- it's hard to explain the significance. Major development. Net community is no longer hanging on the coattail of Gates. That monopolistic era -- Windows Live. After ten years of trying to build the MSN brand? It amazes me to see the burst of creativity considering the times.
We're looking at tiny little groups of people trying to wire/unwire the town on their lonesome selves. I encourage you to help them. But why are towns having to do this? Only in the US do dying phone cos lobby the government like Indian casinos.
I'm spending a lot of my time in Europe this year. See America from the outside, now. I look at the spread of wireless and broadband. I've got broadband in Serbia for $20/mo. And it works. The people in Washington have forgotten how to build -- too busy monetizing. Like the USSR. Turning the USA into a banana republic with rockets. Technically backward.
