Entry: feedback for maria hinojal week 6 May 30, 2004



For some reason, I can't post on H2O, but I did get an email from the H2Osystem that I had to give feedback to Maria Hinojal. So, I'll post my feedback here.

I’m really impressed by what you say in your article. You’re making clear that the Internet must be an open, transparent, participatory application and that public policies must concentrate on promoting the Internet as a service where one can participate instead of a service that must be regulated by the government. It’s also good that you point out how the government can make the Internet more transparent and why it is so important to make it more transparent.

But I do miss some things in your assignment: you don’t talk about peer-to-peer, although that’s the main subject of the assignment. The question was what you’re opinion is on how P2P has an impact on the cultural landscape and if that’s good or bad and if the government should regulate, stop it, or stimulate it. Of course, reading what you said, I probably know what your opinion about this would be. I think you would say: “P2P is a good development and makes the Internet more transparent, which must not be seen by the government as a danger, but must be stimulated, because the impact on the cultural landscape is enormous, it makes the people think different.” Am I right? Is this what you think? My point is that you don’t mention once P2P. I think that if you did that, you’re assignment was excellent.
