The report of Internet Society Global focused on the mobile Internet for two reasons. First, as with mobile telephony, the mobile Internet doesn’t just liberate us from the constraints of a wired connection, but it offers hundreds of millions around the world their only, or primary, means of accessing the Internet.
Second, the mobile Internet does not just extend the reach of the Internet as used on fixed connections, but it offers new functionality in combination with new portable smart devices.
The benefits of the mobile Internet should not come at the expense of the founding principles of the Internet that led to its success.
