Subject: [governance] help: internet rights violations - open architecture

hi everyone

APC is doing a radio scripted version (or audio version) of the APC internet
rights charter, working with ALER from latin America which incldues examples
of either violations or excercises of the rights described in the charter
(which is now available in 19 languages, 12 of which are available online): 

http://www.apc.org/en/pubs/briefs/policy/all/apc-internet-rights-charter  

We have examples of all but one:

===
6.4 The right to open architecture

The internet as a 'network of networks' is made up of many interconnected
networks, based on the key underlying technical idea of open architecture
networking, in which any type of network anywhere can be included and made
publicly available. Open architecture must be protected.
===

can anyone help with real life stories of violations of exercises of this
right?

thanks a lot

karen
