Mobile and Open: A Manifesto

Howard Rheingold has written an “open manifesto” detailing what he believes needs to occur for the mobile web to be open and user driven. “In order for mobile media to benefit those who don’t already own an ICT cartel, the people who use those media must be free to perform certain actions.” He lists these, which are basically stating that people need the right to hack into both hardware and software and use information freely. He also asks for additional ideas of what is needed to prevent the current media controllers from restricting what other people can do.
