With all of the debate about network neutrality for wired networks, what we really need is neutrality for wireless networks. Tim Berners-Lee said it perfectly: when he invented the web, he “didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission“.

You should be able to write and use apps on your mobile phone without requiring your carrier’s permission. I don’t have an iPhone (yet). Apple’s recent news about a developer SDK is great, but I still need “permission” (i.e. a digital signature) to load apps.

This is getting annoying — when will I get the freedom to build the apps I want?!?
