To close out my argument, it's not experts who decide on the best system,
it's the crowd.  The crowd is made up of end-users, vendors and service
implementors.  The crowd is usually right and experts are usually wrong.  As
of today the crowd is choosing Skype.

The Wisdom Of Crowds
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds>describes how
groups of people can form networks of
trust <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_%28sociology%29> without a central
system controlling their behavior or directly enforcing their compliance.
This is pro-free market <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market>, although
such an economic view was shared by none other than Jane
Jacobs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Jacobs>,
who could hardly be called a corporatist.
