TV filled with commercials is failing. Government propaganda is failing. The people are winning. The truth is winning. As a reaction, there will be a show down.
Update: Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP's all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These 'other' sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet. -ipower

The Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006 would have made it a violation of the Clayton Antitrust Act for broadband providers to discriminate against any web traffic, refuse to connect to other providers, or block or impair specific (legal) content. It would also have prohibited the use of admission control to determine network traffic priority. The legislation was approved 20-13 by the House Judiciary committee on May 25, 2006, but was never taken up on the House floor and therefore failed to become law. A bill called the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006 was introduced in the US House of Representatives, referencing the principles enunciated by the FCC and authorizing fines up to $750,000 for infractions. It was passed 321-101 by the full House of Representatives on June 8, 2006 but failed to become law when its companion measure was filibustered in the Senate.

On February 25, 2008, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission Kevin Martin said that he is "ready, willing and able," to prevent broadband internet service providers from irrationally interfering with their subscribers' internet access.[18]

On March 27, 2008, Comcast and BitTorrent reached an agreement to work together on network traffic.[19] Comcast will adopt a protocol-neutral stance "as soon as the end of [2008]", and explore ways to "more effectively manage traffic on its network at peak times." - wiki

What part is nonsense? Do you disbelieve the push by ISPs for a subscription model?

cesar said...

I like subscription model for the Internet, no more garbage personal webpages that claim having the big new of the year, no more sites with illegal content can be access so easily again(how to make a bomb and others), of course if you pay extra you can access that kind of site again

Am I the only one who sees the flaw in this obviously BS theory and that is competition between ISP's and as well as the fact that the internet is ALREADY A SUBSCRIPTION BASED MODEL YOU PAY EACH MONTH TO GET ACCESS TO IT DUH! The fact is if all ISP's switch to this model than another one will come along and offer a model that we use now than everyone will switch over to that ISP and the rest will follow suite or go out of business.

You guys are morons this theory makes no sense first who benefits from it so much that they would go through with such blatant stripping away of something consumers like why would they want to risk losing their market share to another company
