Are We Slowly Losing Control of the Internet (Karl Auerbach)

In this short article Are We Slowly Losing Control of the Internet? Karl Auerbach bemoans the lack of simple standards, as options proliferate, and standards bodies try and please all the stakeholders. A common problem. He sets his sights on SIP as an example of what can go wrong. Perhaps most interesting he links to a good set of slides From Barnstorming to Boeing - Transforming the Internet Into a Lifeline Utility that has speaker notes. Hey many this guy is trying to help out on my MSc (taught) module on SIP after all - though they're a bit high level. In any case I agree with the main message - we need to plan how to manage this stuff.
