   Catching up on my #podcast queue. Listened to the ECFR episode on Digital Supremacy - interesting points about the lack of investment and the need to focus on disruptive innovation rather than trying to play catch up to the big Chinese and American tech companies

      I question some of their assumptions though. Like they talk about disruption but the idea that these massive corporations are the future of technology isn't really questioned. They don't discuss tech-as-public-utility at all.

         Also current trends seem toward a balkanized internet especially in the corporate / consumer space. We've seen it for a long time in the attempts to prop up an artificial and obsolete system of regional intellectual property rights licensing, and more of it now with the GDPR pushback and US sites and services cutting off EU users.
