"We are in the third battle for the open internet, and it is a tough battle." essay by me. knightfoundation.org/brewster-kahle/

The first battle was over the plumbing of the Internet, passing bits around. This battle was with the phone companies over the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) to the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) to the commercial internet.
The second battle was over the protocols and content distribution systems: think World Wide Web, electronic mail, Usenet versus AOL, CompuServe and LexisNexis.

I will put my system, Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), in this mix as a search-based World Wide Web–like system.
