I've been looking for confirmations to this story. But as i look at how people can't protest without a permit, and now we have free speech zones, I can believe that the establishment wants the 1st Amendment gone.

Okay, first of all, it's got to be said, that video was worth watching for the girl (Elia?  Alia?) alone.  ::shock:::drool:::omg::

On a more serious (or at least less flippant) note:  Some of this sounds credible to me, and some of it doesn't.  The part that sounds credible is blocking access to some sites based on what you pay.  There are already ISPs that block access to things like BitTorrent and that put a cap on your monthly downloads.  But the monthly download limits are for wireless services.  The situation is different for broadband ISPs, which don't currently have the kinds of limits you find on wireless.  Any broadband ISP that decided they were going to cap how much you could download would quickly find themselves out of business -- especially if they were going to block your access to specific sites without your permission. 

The other problem with this idea is that it's based largely on the concept that the Internet "pipe" is only so broad, and unless you limit access, the Internet's eventually going to collapse, because the infrastructure can't take it.  Those predictions, though, are as old as the Internet itself.  New technologies always come down to broaden the pipe and provide extra capacity.  There's no sign of that letting up.  (Verizon's FiOS is a good example of the improvements happening.) 

Anyway, I do think there will be a trend towards paying more for streaming video sites for a while, because what you can put out on the Internet won't necessarily keep up with network capacity.  But those restrictions will go away due to market forces, the same way that per-minute and per-hour fees for the Internet eventually went away.  (Does anyone remember CompuServe and the old AOL?)

Well they do have their attention getter don't they ::shades:: the muslims have one thing right...cover your women.:giantgrin:

 

I've seen another video by them as well, its certainly not out of bounds, and really the elites have to do something to stop people talking out of their circles if they wish to hold power.

And wonderful thing is, once again, we pay to screw ourselves for corp interests.::sex::
