Hi all, What you find below is an except from a story carried our by the BBC yesterday. A conundrum?
 
Aaron
 

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."
