    It started with the transition of computers from PC's to walled gardens and network access through monopolies who don't honor network neutrality. Eventually you will need an "approved device" to talk to the Internet and you will need to access your data through external "cloud" services. You already see this with the success of iOS devices and the various "app stores".
