Choice in America

kThe battle between “open” and “closed” was the subtext of most of the
major stories I covered in a dozen years as a journalist reporting on
Silicon Valley and the software industry for The Wall Street Journal
and the San Jose Mercury News. Whether it was the cable/telco vision of
a proprietary “information superhighway” vs. the open Internet, or
Microsoft’s antitrust battles or the emergence of open-source,
proponents of closed business models invoked supposed market realities
to argue that shared, collaborative, free or open alternatives would
either not work or would kill the incentives for investment and
innovation. Instead, open models, starting with the Internet itself,
have enlarged the pie and created new opportunities, new companies and
whole new industries.
