I've been think about this problem as a 30 year archival system and a laptop with dual SSDs running open source software is probably the best way to go. If a drive or laptop fails, the data can still be recovered. If all existing formats goes the way of the dodo, the information can still be retrieved from the laptop. It's not enough to store the bits, you have to make sense of them in the future.

If we compare the Internet like the airwaves that we allow mobile phone companies to operate, we can see first hand how anti-net neutrality causes the US to fall behind the rest of the world. Freedom of the airwaves would give consumers better choice of phone services than if each carrier stingly guards and closes their own network - same with the Internet.
