Not under-appreciating the importance of law framework harmonisation (which is 
indubitably crucial), but I want to point out that we need to start addressing 
the problem of walled-gardens, and balkanization of Internet in the 
application layer.

Think: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ are vertically-integrated silos, and are not 
compatible with one another. Working towards law framework integration has to 
take into account that Terms of Service of these services are indeed the by-
laws of the Internet for billions of people. Consider:

We must not leave these ToS out of the harmonization effort.

Yup, that's more or less what I'm talking about.
