Walled web 2.0

More I think about web 2.0 and SOA, more I get concerned. What with loosely coupled services available anywhere, anytime replacing the applications. Is it all desired?
Well I guess, when the hype dies down, the CIOs will realise the necessity and usefulness of these ideas are bounded within some context. One does not really want to make services available to all and sundry and create unpredictable demands for your infrastructure. Not to mention, security and privacy nightmares.

As is with any networked system of systems, one must draw boundaries. One must define authorisation, ownership and access rights withing these boundaries. There really cannot be anywhere, anytime services. The services are walled, the Web 2.0 is walled. Or else it is pretty nigh unusable.
