Big corporations have plans to make a change that would forever change the internet as we know it in 2012. The internet takes away so much attention away from TV and other media, with its growth and freedom. Big internet servers want to take away the freedom and control it by basically offering the internet service to the highest bidder. The way we accesses the internet will be changed to that of T.V. with the biggest interest sites for x amount a month. For less used it will cost a little more etc. If this happens the internet will be significantly reduced including this site, the helper.
Already in U.K. Virgin Media has announced that they dismiss internet neutrality and have plans to take control of the internet access. If this company succeed other companies will see this as a way to make money and will also do it as well. In order to stop this, Virgin's customers would have to stand up and stop using them. This would obliterate the company and show the other big corporations not to try to take away internet control.

The internet was made for every one and it will stay that way.

*preps flamethrower and lets out a squirt of fire*

Otherwise...I'd have to start burning real stuff....With real fire.

Haha, BT's comment on the issue:

"We welcome all the Virgin customers who left because of the net neutrality issue and offer 'neutral' bandwidth."

Yoink!

probably wont happen, but it is pretty scary though. I wouldn't want that to happen. It would pretty much screw over every business.

This is no concern to me, probably cause I'm cocky enough to believe it won't happen, and with good reason. The only thing that worries me is the FBI chairman requesting more access to ISP's to monitor the internet in the US a lot closer. I can't have this happen.. especially for what I do.

If you are not already, I suggest do something about it. Maybe start by looking up your senator's website and passing on your views. Cntr + F "contact" works nicely :)
