This is all about Obama trying to choom his way to more control over the web. F him eternally - worst pos ever in my lifetime to hold office
Nah, its about corporate ownership of cyber real estate.
Its a way for companies to lay claim to the intentet, to partition it up and sell it off like real estate. Dont have the money to both create your website AND pay the telecom companies a premium to allow ebd users access to it? Sorry, youre out of luck.
Just another way for the Telecom giants to take even more control over the frontier that is cyberspace. Now they get to decide which websites are going to be accessible and how much its going to cost.
Running an Ebusiness will no longer just be the startup cost of building and maintaining the website, now theyre going to have to pay the Telecom giants to allow their site to even be visited by end users.
Want total access for everyone?
Gotta pay them all the Telecom companies.
Oh wait, service too slow? Gotta pay extra for EACH telecom company to speed up access, which will NEVER equal the amount a major company like Costco or Walmart can pay.
Telecom companies dont like your politicial messags? Well, now they dont have to allow access to your website.
Same shit North Korea does, only companies calling the shots instead of Dear Leader.
Its bad, and itll fundamentally change the way the internet functions. Say goodbye to the internet being the last true forum for freedom of speech and freedom of information, that ship has sailed. Now itll be freedom of speech and info to the highest bidder.
