The Internet, so far anyway, has managed to stick to this open

upgradeable, or standard STBs would be offered ubiquitously as
transitional upgrade devices, just as they do everywhere else in the

The Internet is a PIPE Bert. A pipe that lets you access servers with
a multitude of content. The standards for the data are "OPEN" but the
content is no different that that delivers via any other pipe. There
are MANY walled gardens accessible via the Internet...
The Wall Stree Journal
Netflix
Porn sites
