Rupert Murdoch: "Internet Will Soon Be Over"

Billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch gave a strange response when asked about plans for mainstream news websites to charge for content, declaring, “The current days of the internet will soon be over.”
He was making reference to the fact that corporate media websites cannot continue to survive under their current failing business model.
The establishment media is dying and advertising revenue has plummeted as people turn to blogs and the alternative media for their news in an environment of corporate lies and spin.
The European Commission wants the US to dissolve all government links with the body that 'governs' the internet, replacing it with an international forum for discussing internet governance and online security.
The rules and decisions on key internet governance issues, such as the creation of top level domains (such .com and .eu) and managing the internet address system that ensures computers can connect to each other, are currently made by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names Numbers.
The future of the internet, according to author and “web critic” Andrew Keen, will be monitored by “gatekeepers” to verify the accuracy of information posted on the web. The “Outlook 2009″ report from the November-December issue of The Futurist reports that,
“Internet entrepreneur Andrew Keen believes that the anonymity of today’s internet 2.0 will give way to a more open internet 3.0 in which third party gatekeepers monitor the information posted on Web sites to verify its accuracy.”

To assume that they are not seeking ways to overhaul the internet in order to gain a sustainable level of control over it would be a dangerous assumption.
To assume that it can't be done, even more dangerous.

Even if this DOES happen, why do i have the strange feeling that some hackers will create a new global internet network thing? And i have the feeling they would, i mean the Pentagon has been hacked 3 times now by hacker groups around the world, even a British man himself alone hacked the Pentagon, now he is in American prison i think. If that's possible, then my assumption is quite possible as well.

Who the Hell is going to pay to watch FOX?
They will never succeed in anything
what they will do is make ME allot of money as people turn to Free sources of Internet delivery that are of high quality
Bottom line, what the big networks produce is mostly crap anyway and full of lies when it's news...
They will never get a big win here not on any aspect of reigning in the net,
Trying to distract from some disastrous quarterly results, Rupert Murdoch made headlines the other day by announcing that News Corp. would shortly begin to charge for access to its websites and that “the current days of the Internet will soon be over.”

I don't think the internet as we know it is going anywhere. As long as people can hook their computers together, then the internet is alive. As for corporate media website, they may go the way of the dodo, but I doubt anyone will notice.

It says that corporate media websites will charge users to access their sites (actually, many already do this), not that the Internet is going to be radically changed in such a way as to silence alternative sources.
Right, so everything is okay, right? WRONG.... If you were working thousands of years to incrimentally enslave the world forever by forming an actually desired world government, wouldn't you want to make sure the plan would work? I for one would have gotten rid of the net long ago.... The inbred elite are not as smart as they assume they are....
- Have you not heared though that Australia's internet censorship is now worse than china... - One day it was free, the next, no more...

- And what do you do about the government gateways? - Or are you talking about (Assuming you have the freedom to do so) bbringing your computer out in get togethers, in the park or something?
Well, so the alarm has been sounded... - EVERYONE: - While you still can, do some research & save the evidence to disk & CD. - THEN SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE you see and meet...
They clearly have something to hide, as the net will be censored worldwide! THE TIME IS NOW!
