Saw this article: Who really Controls the Internet?, while surfing throug the BBC website and I was partly annoyed that I found it after I submitted a final paper on the same topic for one of my masteral courses.
The political economy of blogs: that was my paper. It had me concluding that perhaps it does exist because most of these tools and concepts are western. But I don't know...I think it needs more analysis. Another web luminary pointed out that the traditional elements and concepts no longer apply to the web in the first place, so maybe it has to be seen/analyzed with a different approach.
But still this is worth a read.
Oh, and here's a cool summary of the history of the web in a slidebar, hehe. Very cool, especially for those who need it for their assignments and references.
15 Years of the Internet
