I can't believe this!!
Apr. 25th, 2006 01:20 pmEveryone, read this: http://www.tpmcafe.com/node/29086
Because by next Wednesday, the Internet in the US will be turned over to all the bigshot telecom companies. I seriously can't believe that legislators are actually in FAVOR of this! No longer will we have one happy, unified Internet. It's metamorphosing into multiple internets, all of which will probably be 'censored' and crap. You can only read what they want you to read, see only what they want you to see, etc. Scary thought, isn't it? It really sounds like one of those scary sci-fi short stories I read a few years ago. And of course, more fees for stupid little things so the companies can get more profit. This is all just fucking ridiculous! Soon the Internet will turn into a concept like separate news channels...and you'll have to pay if you want the whole package.
The biggest problem I have with this? The fact that no one even KNOWS about this, or that almost no one is reporting it! But why? This is so huge, but it's just flitting by completely unnoticed. So, if any of you out there actually do care, go here: http://www.civic.moveon.org/save_the_internet/ You know I don't usually post petitions in my blog, but this is serious shit. This problem needs to be addressed now.
