net winners - it's not us consumers.

Let us all get one thing straight about this internet thing.
We will continue to pay through the NOSE and we will come to like
it. And then will will pay more.
Get used to it.
There is nothing you can do.
And, NO you won't be able NOT to have the internet.

Net speed will go to the highest bidder

It's amazing that people don't know what this will eventually become. It's quite simple really. Here it is in plain text.

Whoever pays the most will get priority i-net traffic speeds. Those that don't pay Verizon and the cable companies will be slower. Don't believe anybody who says it won't because prioritizing net traffic will be the greatest cash cow the phone and cable companies have ever seen five years from now.

Within three years from now, open auction bidding to determine who gets first routing access will be common place and those that don't pay will be shunted to the side until a route becomes available.

The internet traffic of today will double or triple in size over the next few years but the pipes that carry it all will remain about the same size. Just to cope with all the bit torrent P2P traffic, VOIP and google/ebay and streaming movie downloads they'll have no choice but to give priority access to some and everyone else will share the remaining bandwidth.

History repeats ?

For those old enough to remember (I'm sure it was studied in economics/history classrooms in the past), this smacks of the arguments like that of the phone companys (AT&T predecessors?).
We saw the breakup because of the monoply, now we see more and more mergers (going in full circle?).. This is but the begining for the internet circus..and yes, we WILL COMPLY (and like it or else)
