Openness is increasingly threatened by "profit motives of corporations and control issues of governments,"
-Eric E. Schmidt, chief executive of Google Inc.

Today's policy decisions "could stunt the Internet to where it becomes a mechanism for delivering entertainment, ads and conducting consumer-oriented business for large players."
-Steve Crocker, co-founder, Internet Engineering Task Force

Companies are inhibiting innovation, "by letting users receive information faster than they can send it."

"We are actually at a point where we can make some very wrong decisions, and the Net will just kind of become like any other industry,"
