Hopefull if you have more than one ISP in your area then you just have to hope they are competitive to the point where they won’t implement this in fear of losing customers.

If you only have one ISP then your bum is more ****ed than a franch ginger in prison.

Remember AOL and Compuserve? Seems to me the best we can hope for is the kind of internet we had 15+ years ago. Except this time they can actually stop you from seeing anyone else’s content. More like on demand TV, you get to choose from what that channel offers. Not what the internet has come to be about.

no need to worry, the reason this’ll never happen is the same reason they don’t ban smoking: too much business, too much public outroar

I hope they see it that way. I think Adapt is right, though, profit is on the side of the one’s who can make you look at whatever site pays the most.
