Long story short.
Big Cable/phone/ISPs companies want to limit peoples acces to content on the internet unless the websites pay them more. Some companies are slowly setting the trent. The problem lies with slowly we wont notice much over time (fact censorship is already starting) , but 10 years from now internet will have a huge censorship. And in addition to that more websites will dissapear, becaus if they wont pay a ISP the ISP just wont load their page anymore.
This would turn the internet into a TV with limited channels instead of the awsome information and expression fest it currently is.
I myself dont know exaclty if this will become as bad as people supporting net neutrality state. But its a good cause that needs support no matter how small the treat.

don't think this will happen, if one isp will provide all-access-internet he would have 85% of the worlds inet-users as customers |
