Open Internet

Requirements for an open internet as described in the Mozilla Foundation's Manifesto:

"People can participate at all levels, with low barriers and without the need to "buy into" a centralized agenda, data source, hardware or software system

Open standards are the basis of key technologies

Open source software is available for key activities

Open alternatives for key Internet activities are competitive with closed, proprietary offerings and with desktop-centric offerings

Heterogeneous environments are possible - we don't all need to use the same hardware, software or data sources

People can make and implement decisions about their online experience and their data." (http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/mitchell/archives/2007/03/mozilla_foundation_statement_o.html)
