i just thought of this

They are actually trying to do this, but im too lazy to look for the links on google...

 

yea, read up on net neutrality (im sure i spelt that horribly wrong.)

 

well thats not quit what they are trying to do, net neutrality isnt quit that, but it still takes away a damn lot of rights

im not 100% sure but its something like taxes for using the web as well as some guidelines to make the bigger websites less accsesed

 

net neutrality is actually one of the underlying principles of the internet. As it stands right now, the internet (packet switched network) is non selective about the content that flows through it

what telecom companies want to do is to seperate out the websites that get the most hits, therefore using more bandwidth. They want these websites to pay a certain tax to maintain their bandwidth allocation on the network. Failure to pay the tax would result in reduced bandwidth, thereby resulting in dial-up to slower than dial-up speeds when users try to access the site

imagine connecting to your favorite websites like youtube at 28k speeds, no matter what type of connection you have. not a pretty picture.

damn i'm stoned, hope this made sense

 

The Internet should be free. FREE KEVIN! HACK THE PLA... Oh wait, wrong forum. *Wanders away*

 

They will never control the free flow of information over the net. To many hackers, and nerds out theyre to make the mans life miserable. DAMN THE MAN.


now lets all get stoned and just wander off

 

Is this just in America or worldwide, if it's just America, and they pass it I am peacing this country as soon as I graduate from college.
