Robert has got it spot on I think.
This article makes a similar point that we risk doing away with people's ability to publish their content and have it viewed.
In terms of 'owning' a piece of infrastructure, I do rent a server in America, for secure backup purposes and donating to community projects (eg for Escape from Undermountain) - I pay for the privelege of publishing already, at a price determined by the market that the hosting company can make a profit with. Why should I have to pay more to guarantee that people can access my content?
JD: Your comment about unfairly restricting them from charging for new services is off the mark I think - they won't be providing new services. The reason we don't have access to legal streamed movies for example is entirely down to the movie industry not having come up with a way to do it with sufficient control for example. It's not an issue of bandwidth or whether we have a 'new generation' of internet.
