The Net’s Next 5: Round-up

Last week, we reached out to the Executive Members of IADAS to hear what they had to say about the biggest challenge facing the Internet during the next five years.

We’ve seen close to 100 responses so far about a variety of different topics.

• In light of the recent elections, during which every pro-net neutrality candidate lost, it’s understandable that it ranks first as the biggest concern about the Internet’s future.
• Tina Roth Eisenberg’s tweet about copyright infringement was one of the most popular responses,with more than 20 retweets and even more responses.
  
• John Battelle’s concerned about “the walled garden” is one I (and lots of others)  share and something I hope we can talk more about.

• We also received some answers that referred more to the existential nature of the Internet…
