The day the Internet dies.

Post by helium » June 8th, 2008, 8:09 pm

Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP's all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These 'other' sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet.

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). Interviews with these sources, more confirmation from other sources and more in-depth information on the issue is set to be published



Don't let the internet evolve to this:

What you can do about it:

The reason why we're releasing this information is because we believe we can stop it. More awareness means more mainstream media shedding light on it, more political interest and more pressure on the ISP's to keep the Internet an open free space. We started this social network as a platform for Internet activism where we can join forces, share ideas and organize any form of protest that may have an impact. If we want to make a difference in this, we have to join together and stand united as one powerful voice against it.

that's a bunch of bull, imo. if it DOES happen, then i would expect more and more people go towards the "get around it" option rather than the "paying" option, and therefore, more people doing illegal operations over the internet. who the hell would pay $70 for GOOGLE.....

Imagine if this really did happen, there would be some kind of huge 5 million people riot against internet service providers.
Honestly, I doubt this will happen, the society now days is way too dependent on the internet to give up or limit.

If it did happen, I could imagine it being similar to that South Park episode. But it will never happen.
