I agree that we need to get to a more secure internet, but I'm not sure a walled garden is the way to accomplish this. I feel like security holes are inherent in the nature of technology and its rapid development and evolution. The security threats that plagued the internet in the 90s are now obsolete. With new technology comes new threats. That's the way it will be and the only option we have is to stay vigilant and attempt to think of every edge case before black hats do. To say that a walled garden is the solution is a dangerous statement. While this may provide a very safe platform such as iOS, it is also a stifled and languid platform due to the bottleneck of the approval process. We will be safe from security if we never make anything new. That's not a solution to the problem that's sacrificing future potential for economic activity. |

No, it's only the first step! Think about how infrastructure gets established. It doesn't appear everywhere at once. That's usually a logistical impossibility.

Sounds like a ratrace to me. Sounds like you're giving up on the idea that things can be better. Sounds like a lot of work. Sounds like the general security situation sucks. Sounds to me like there's latent demand here.
