Rheingold: Mobile and Open: A Manifesto

TheFeature :: Mobile and Open: A Manifesto:
"Only a cockeyed optimist would forecast an open, user-driven, entrepreneurial future for the mobile Internet. This should not prevent us from trying, however. Sometimes, envisioning the way things ought to be can inspire people to work at making it that way. That's what manifestos are for."
Rheingold goes on to say that "A future where mobile media achieve their full economic and cultural potential, requires:"
  • That people are free and able to act as users not consumers
  • An open innovation commons
  • Self-organizing, ad-hoc networks
  • the freedom to associate information with places and things, and to access the information others have associated with places and things.

I'm wondering what the definition (or scope) of the mobile internet is. Do you know?
