[bestbits] [governance] Internet-related Issues at PP-14

[Carolina Rossini]

I agree with Parminder on "It is almost catastrophic wrt FoE and freedom of
innovation if every single device that has to ever employ IP based
connectivity has to be "authorised". What worked for telephones cannot in
the same way work in a pervasive IP environment where the possibilities of
devices, applications etc is near limitless, and one should be able to , as
they say, 'innovate at the edges'. "

I do see a trend to expand phone related regulation (as parminder also
mentioned) to IP based communication hardware, and that can be a real
problem for innovation
