A business case is not a material innovation; otherwise we end up in discussions
like we have now in patent law where various "apparatuses" (apparati?)
appear to be invented everywhere. I think financial sector learned
that truth the hard way.

The web as described by internet.org is here now and I am even using it.
Just launch a "w3m" text browser (http://w3m.sourceforge.net/) which
by the way I like to use and enjoy. If this is innovation, I can
demonstrate prior art.
