In all seriousness, you must all watch this and realize what it means, and you must post it in any other board you might be apart of.

 

[MattBearPig]

I heard that they have Internet in California.

 

[SFII]

i stopped at the boobs.

My occupation is IT Manager/Technology Coordinator for the school district where i live. I meet with several surrounding district Managers as well as local companies' Admins about once a month. Not too long ago this topic was raised and in the end we agree with these guys.

The day is coming where you will be paying for content on the internet instead of paying just a flat fee for access. We even discussed this with someone from our local ISP and he acknowledged that this was being planned but did not know when this would take effect.

This will start with the larger ISPs and work its way down.

Will be a sad day for the internet...

It doesn't have to be, I know the previous posters joke, but this is a very big step toward furthering the corporate grip on our lives.

This isn't a gripe about not being able to illegally download things, but rather dissent against further corporate control of our lives, against being boxed in more then we already are.

Most people might not realize it, but the internet is still one of the best places to spread dissent, express otherwise unheard opinions, and witnessing unwanted truths.

Message boards are one of the few places people really come together and think together nowadays outside of a scholarly setting.

Its one of the few places where people make a habit of offering clashing opinions, and not being complete drones.

People on boards sometimes end up being much more "political" and full of discourse amongst a panel a strangers then they ever do with their best friends or family.

But there is more to it then that.

Do they, like, have a shot of that girls boobs in all their vids to make people watch them? That's quite funny.

Anyway, the thought of ISPs trying to pull something like this is quite scary and it wouldn't surprise me.

When you think about it, it's amazing that the Internet is as free to roam as it is. I do think the world wide web is a remarkable achievement. Why? Because never before have people been able to communicate with others across great distances with such speed and in such numbers, largely without restriction.

It's no surprise to me that certain people in the media and in politics are afraid of the Internet. Why? When a fox news report goes out, all it takes is for one person to upload a video on youtube showing why the fox news report is ********, and tens of thousands of people could watch that video. It's completely out of the medias hands and largely out of politicians hands, and that scares them. Not because they're concerned about peoples safety, they're scared that they can't fully control information that gets out to the masses.

I do think the Internet is something that needs to be protected.

But part of me feels that if ISPs tried to change their service over to a system where you pay, say, an extra £10 a month to visit an extra 100 websites, then they'll see a massive loss of customers. Not only that, but a lot of people run businesses on the net exclusively. And even if their business isn't exclusive to the net, the net is a large part of many peoples incomes. It would **** the economy too much to suddenly shut down peoples access to 'smaller' websites.

Like the guys in the vid said, all the ISPs care about is money. The government cares a lot about money too. Purely for that reason, I don't think a plan for ISPs to deliberately restrict access to websites would work.

 

[Superman4ever]

I've been talking about Net neutrality for a while now, and we SERIOUSLY need to step-up efforts to destroy ANY infringement upon it.

 

[Bubonic]

I don't know whether or not to be surprised that hardly anyone gives a ****

 

[NiteMare Shape]

I saw this same thing elsewhere, and I for one have a hard time believing that this is going to come to pass.

Deliberately restricting the web like this would cost alot of people alot of money in the long run, and I just don't see them killing the golden goose so to speak

 

[SapphirePrima]

2012 is the year mutants will walk the earth.

 

[The Battousai]

Technically, we're all mutants or descendants of mutants of previous species of humans, so you'd be right

 

[Alex The Great]

if the internet goes, we all go.

 

[hpwiz89]

NO! I can't live without the internet!

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

The internet will never die.

 

[bullets]

i stopped at the boobs.

Yeah those were some nice boobs. Then some geeks started talking.

 

[bullets]

if the internet goes, we all go.

So True ! We'll just have to make paper internets.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I think this is what the Mayans were predicting.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I hope this isn't true...

 

[Joker]

If they do this in 2012, I will unleash my doomsday weapon and destroy the earth, hence fullfilling all those stupid 2012 doomsday prophecies, and proving myself a fool for not believing in them.



Yes, I do have a doomsday weapon. One so awful, so terrible, so huge that I cannot speak it's name. But I'll give you a hint. It's a 60 year long loop of that Rick Astley song, several pictures from Goatse, and a virus that will implant it in every media outlet with no way of removing it.

If it does end, I will unleash my Rick Moranis clones on the world.

[Carlynn Carnage]

[DorkyFresh]

...at the very least, it's the best 'end of the world' theory/scenario i've heard so far.
