The Death of The Internet? (length: 06:29)
Major telecommunications companies are spending millions lobbying the U.S. congress to make the Internet into a private network. In political lingo this mean abandoning what is called "Net Neutrality". In common sense terms it's about the
some comments from YouTube.Com:
1. yes this is true of most sites, but if you go to the "Engagement" section of www.coanews.org you'll see many postive stories - again COA News is not the mainstream media - it's quite the opposite.
This issue is in fact a serious issue we should be worried about - if the telco's can they will turn the net into a tiered network, otherwise they would not pay millions to avoid the net Neutrality law, in fact they spent millions removing it from FCC law - go www.savetheinternet.com
2. Has anyone thought if the sheep will be lulled by security from their children seeing porn.
OK. Porn's not my life. heh. But alot of the blind might be convinced to shut of access to much of the bad content their children might see.
This may sound negative but it's going to be the outcome 99.9% of the time if you were God doing lab IMHO. Welcome to the true underground revolution. Time has come where you obey or you don't. And in the end that's the only drawn line. Exhilirating.
3. i bet if things got so restricted, people would refuse to pay for it.its all supply and demand.i blog because i can right now just for paying my internet fees, but if they up the fees then i'll stop and the service providers will lose more money than they profit from the people who get suckered into paying more, therefore going bankrupt unless they drop the fees. if cokes cost $5 instead of 50 cents, then i stop drinking coke. same thing. it's all an idea, but will it ever come to fruition, nah.
4. Also this seems to be way way over exaggerated. It is something internet companies are doing to make it so they are top dogs. It isn't like they control all of the webpages opened. They just make it so we use different search engines and such. I think that shouldn't be if they aren't the ones responsible for the internet. They just are bribed to make it so companies don't succeed as well. That is messed up but not a dictatorship. It is just taking what is not theirs. It should be a free choice.
5. "Old school" telecomm is so central to society that it is a regulated utility ... while run on a capitalist financial model, certain services are guaranteed by law, to prevent the stifling of thought in a "town commons." The same utility model should now apply to the Internet.
However, it seems only fair to charge more to someone who uses the town commons more than others. But penalizing people for their REASON for using it should be prohibited by law.
