• Google-Verizon are nearing deal that could allow Internet providers (Verizon) to speed up content to users (the consumer) if they are willing to pay a premium
• Meaning: The Internet will essentially resemble cable television, and for access
• Why does this matter? "At issue for consumers is how the companies that provide the pipeline to the Internet will ultimately direct traffic on their system, and how quickly consumers are able to gain access to certain Web content. Consumers could also see continually rising bills for Internet service, much as they have for cable television."
• Bottom Line: Internet providers currently permits freedom of access to all websites; they new system will drastically restrict the autonomy of users

So some websites, you will have to pay to access? Don't we have those already?

They deny everything ....

Alex Jones been talking about this for a while now.... The next terror attack will be cyber warfare and the internet 2 will be ushered in. Legislation is already written up as u can see so there's not much to do but sit back and wait.
