<p>My personal view: I suggest the unipolar/state-centric frame offered by some to consider who is winning from the present - distributed Internet architecture - doesn't match the market data. </p>

<div dir="ltr">The India's proposals at PP, commented by Parminder, sounds like rational politics in the context of an hegemonic State representing its own lobbies/monopolies and a worldwide mass surveillance/spying organisation. Whether each State is more
or less democratic is a diversion in the discussion, which pertains to independence and mutual trust. Of course impacts have to be analysed, but this is for each State to draw its conclusions.<br>
