No. What we need are user-facing services, based on Free Software (and 
someday, maybe, Open Hardware), that allow users to easily switch 
providers or set-up their own services - much like e-mail today.

Hardware and software mean naught to 99% of users. They want a working 
service. THAT is why they stick to GMail and Facebook. We need 
alternatives to that, and software/hardware are just parts of the 
puzzle.
