   @bob according to John Walker, the centralization of the web started around 1995, with the failure to adopt IPv6. Although the term "web 2.0" wasn't coined until later, sites that fit that description started to appear in the late 90s (including the first #Indymedia site in 1999)

     "With no possibility of migrating to IPv6 in time to solve the address space crunch, the industry resigned itself to soldiering on with IPv4, adopting the following increasingly clever means of conserving the limited address space. Each of these, however, had the unintended consequence of transforming the pure peer relationship originally envisioned for the Internet into “publisher” and “consumer” classes, and increasing the anonymity of Internet access."
