2012 the year the internet ends, page 1

This is serious stuff guys the isps are planning to make the internet into a tv like service where you have to pay for certain websites, this could be the downfall of abovetopsecret and the downfall of the only reliable source of information we have left.

Exactly. Even if all the big isp's get together how would they stop competitors from offering an all access deal?? Seems like a big gamble for big companies to go belly up if their plan doesn't work!

Like the OP said.. All big isps come together to offer the internet in "packages" similar to TV. The side effect is most people would choose the cheaper packages, thus hurting the "little guy," whos website relies primarily on internet advertising for money.

Unfettered access = more entertainment and protection from large corporations.

If sold as packages, akin to TV subscriptions, then I fail to see how the little guy would be hurt. In TV for example I pay £21 a month for a Sky subscription, yet I am still inundated from all channels, except BBC ones, with advertising. This would be the same model, I assume. Websites might prefer to be in a particular channel tiering, yet they would still have their own advertising as well.

I also don't buy the fact people will always go for the cheapest. it depends on what you want. For example, before I moved in with my missus, I had a 20Mb/s broadband from Virgin costing me £40/month. I could have had broadband ALOT cheaper than that, but I wanted the fastest available with no monthly limits.

Alot of other people in the UK do the same. I could have broadband for as little as £12/month or pay £25/month and get my TV and phone lumped in as well, yet I chose not too as I wanted a reliable, fast cable connection not some #ty ADSL rubbish that most telco's offer.

I was hoping someone could give me a link to an actual article outlining the plans though, that's what i was after. I got the initial premise but cannot watch YouTube at work unfortunately and I wanted more detail.

The people in the video seem to run this "i power" website. They claim Time Magazine will soon come out with an article on this issue.

Dylan Pattyn *, who is currently writing an article for Time Magazine on the issue, has official confirmation from sources within Bell Canada and is interviewing a marketing representative from TELUS who confirms the story and states that TELUS has already started blocking all websites that aren't in the subscription package for mobile Internet access. They could not confirm whether it would happen in 2012 because both stated it may actually happen sooner (as early as 2010).
