Quick everyone, put your stories up, we've only 3 and a bit years left say the doomsayers.
Suddenly, all the ISPs are going to stop and make people pay, resulting in losses of millions? This is the beginning of a classic urban myth. Stay tuned.
yeah yeah. Everybody drank their kool aid too?
Interesting read Tech. I suspected it was all made up from the start for attention whoring status.
The article brings you up to speed on other issues facing us. Fascinating read. I know my son uses Comcast and he tried bit-torrent to get me a movie. Man, it took a long time. I'm talking months. I don't know if Comcast was slowing it like the article claims, though.
Net Neutrality is a serious issue we may have to fight in the upcoming years. I can't even imagine using the internet like I would TV. Honestly, if ISP's actually pull this crap off, I plan on boycotting internet service all together until they bring the old service back, or at least make it fair for startup companies, small fan sites, or personal blogs to have the same rights on the internet. The internet has done so much for us in the last few years, and we've been here to watch it grow and evolve with great new ideas.
Think of it this way...if ISP's started doing this from the beginning, we wouldn't have eBay or craigslist. There would be no fun projects like One Red Paperclip...No Google! I don't mean these sites would be different now, I mean that wouldn't exist at all.
Don't let your ISP tell you what you can and can't do with your internet! They may own the pipes, but WE made the internet.
You mean I won't be able to get my porn the American way, by downloading it?
