ISP's CONFIRM '2012: THE YEAR THE INTERNET ENDS'

[MessengerX]

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.

Fools.

First, I'll steal as much uncopyrighted information as I can from the current 'net. Then, I'll run cable through my neighborhood and create a simple $10 a month subscription policy for my new internet.

Eventually, my organization will expand to encompass the city, the state, then the country, then the world, because in true free market, my product would be inherently superior to theirs.

Isn't the world supposed to end on December 12 of that year?

Yep, that's when the axis supposedly reverses or something equally catalysmic.

Theres also 2018 instead of 12, depending on which calendar you're using.

These people need different spokesmen. The chick with the giant tits was distracting. Then, the guy says "we are the internets"...?

:wtf?:

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate this kind of info. However, it's presented very poorly. Canada is the only one confirmed to do this changeover. It just seems sensationalist and premature to start going bonkers over this.

She's like a FOXnews Stepford-reporter for the "web generation".

Ok, lets just say this is true (which it isnt). How can these providers "own" url's that are already privately owned, not to mention controlling access to them?

Explain please.

They own the access to the sites. That is what an Internet Service Provider is, Jack. Without them, the site servers are isolated and gathering dust.
