On a related note, cyberlaw professor Jonathan Zittrain in 2008 wrote The Future Of The Internet—And How To Stop It, a book focusing on the rise of the web's “tethered appliances,” which, like North Korean radio sets, can be attuned to exclude or disregard certain content, and are designed not to be tinkered with by their users. Zittrain argued that such closed service appliances—emphatically including design icons like iPods and iPhones, for example—would in fact contribute to stifle the generative and innovative capacity of the web.
