Who's in charge of the web's future?
So far it has grown on principles of openness and mutually agreed standards
- but some now fear the emergence of a corporate web where innovation and
free expression will be shackled.

"There are no guarantees that it will carry on to evolve the way it is now -
open, free and with universal standards," says Professor Wendy Hall,
Southampton University scientist .
"If you lose that or the standards are taken over by a commercial concern,
then the web will change dramatically."
