That platform would kill the power of the internet and turn in into a paid subscription service like cable. Fight it like the enemy it is.
I can see huge numbers of internet subscribers cancelling their online plan in protest. It's a shame that a public utility style service could become like Netflix or Showtime where you can only watch what they put on the menu.
The power of the internet lies in the ability to tailor your choices into bookmarks that fit your style of surfing and the right to surf any site that's available to determine if it's something you want to tag.
This one has me baffled. Either it's the end of the world or no big deal. I don't have the knowledge to figure it out myself.
From what I've gleaned so far it wouldn't have much effect on something like ECF. Maybe make it a little slower so that the paying customers can run a little faster. I haven't seen anything that suggests they would be actually selecting which sites they carry.
Supposedly some of the players have said they won't take advantage of this deregulation. If that's true it could sink the whole experiment. They would get my business anyway.
They claim it would unleash the corporations, resulting in more innovation and investment, leading to wonderful benefits for all of us. Yeah, really.
Seems like SOP for DC.
