''In a nutshell: make sure the internet is still open, participatory 100 years from now.''
The internet has become our global commons: a critical public resource that more than a billion people use to learn, innovate, trade, befriend and play. '''We envision a century ahead where this shared resource grows even richer and more vibrant.''' For this to happen, we must continue to build and operate an internet that is:
*'''Public''' much like a public square, with space not just for commerce but also for vibrant social and civic life.
Of course, '''this vision faces many challenges'''. Current examples: control over our digital identities and data is centralizing; and the growing mobile internet is far less open than the one on our desktop. At a more basic level, few people take the time to consider the internet as a public resource. They simply take it for granted, like air. Drumbeat is about gathering a critical mass of people to address challenges like these.
