Say goodbye to the Internet you knew
Because your kids won’t ever know it. Don’t believe me? Here are the two major turning points, all in one week’s news:
Time Warner, one of the largest cable Internet providers in the United States, is now shaping traffic.
Wait, let me put it in another words, so you understand how majorly abhorrent this event is.
Traffic shaping is a fancy computer term that means your ISP (Internet service provider) is deciding which kind of traffic gets to your computer first. In other words, they are now breaking your Internet connection on purpose.
You think that’s fair? Haha, Big Telco is only beginning, man. Wait till you read about the following event.
AT&T (the other big broadband provider in the States) has announced today that they will block copyrighted content in their network.
In other words: unless your use of the Internet is an “approved one”, you can forget about actually using it.

re: say goodbye
Run everybody, the SKY IS FALLING.
Once again, another "I have no clue about the free market economy" blogger writes some horror story about how this that or the other thing is going to happen.
How come they never write about what the next Powerball numbers are going to be. I'd put more stock into those type of predications then their fine business advice.
