Doubt me? Just look at the Web 1.0 world. Every single Internet access provider I have used has offered me a "home page" of their making, with supposedly advanced services for accessing mail, news, search and other key features of the early Internet. And in every case, I quickly replaced their tired page with either my My Yahoo page or Google. Not a single one was able to offer me anything innovative enough to see them as leading edge technology in the Web content space.[...]</p> [...]I believe the telecom providers have never moved beyond being the plumbers, though innovative plumbers that have figured out all kinds of ways to charge you for every turn of a faucet.

I however have to disagree with you on the situation of mobile browsing, it is actually better than many think. High-end mobile devices are catching on to the desktop browsing fast and many changes will happen in 1 to 2 years.

Also, the high-end will converge with the desktops on the ability to integrate the web and the device. We will see this happen with technologies such as web runtimes.

How will browsing change? Will authoring become a first class citizen to browsing, with all the UI and tools to support it? Will extensions become standardized so we don't have to have two codebases for toolbars and BHOs? How do we better leverage history, favorites, and other data to improve the experience? Can social networking apps become a foundational part of the browser, or is that a loosing proposition for users with our fickle social habits?</p> <p>I have to say I am highly dissappointed in this article.
