I disagree, Ben. Once upon a time websites couldn't be created by anyone, which is why there are web designers and companies. But now I can make a nice site myself without them.
Same thing will happen, and is happening, with apps. The fact that there are millions of apps, most of them shit, is evidence that pretty much anyone can create one.
The internet will never be "owned" by big corporations either. Any attempt ever at regulating it, or its content, has failed miserably. Even suggesting it pretty much sounds like infringement of basic human rights.
The internet will always be for the people, by the people ... and porn.
