Everything comes to he who waits. (she already knows about the value of 
patience).

The Internet (pre-middleboxes) already did that, relative to the 
innovation-free telecom network that is still unable to do more than 3 kHz 
analog phone calls (because of its "middlebox" oriented solution of 
requiring mapping "in the network" rather than enabling smart instruments!)

There's no moral superiority here, nor "imposition".  The imposition 
happens every time some network manager presumes that he (not she) is doing 
good by imposing a middlebox on all of his users.

The market would decide, if "bottleneck barons" didn't feel empowered to 
decide for the good of their selves (er, users).
