(in French)
The distinction between the Web and the internet is not trivial; over the past few years, one of the most important shifts in the digital world has been the move from the wide-open web to semi-closed platforms that use the internet for transport but not the browser for display — this was primarily driven by the mobile computing model.
As consumers are opting for Quality of Service & custom applications that just work (with their own standards, terms of service, etc), the all-encompassing, wide-open web is getting crippled, posing as a gradual threat to open standards and services that are "generative" (which allow people to find new uses for them).
Like in all industries before, concentration by corporations and control lie ahead; monopolies are actually even more likely in highly networked markets such as the online world (the dark side of network effects is that rich nodes get richer — Metcalfe's law states that the relative value of a network increases in proportion to the square of connections, creating winner-takes-it-all markets).
