Whose Internet is it anyway?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 02 2012 @ 10:50 PM EDT
Funny how businesses were slow to adopt the Internet - until they discovered
that it was a free marketing/sales channel just waiting to be filled.

Two things stand out...

1) The free Internet was a boost for businesses - and everybody else, including
local governments and grandmothers.

2) Businesses didn't pay for the needed infrastructure in any other sense than
they paid the telcos for a connection.

Yet here they are, those same businesses, doing their darn best to fence in the
Internet and make it their own for the sole purpose of Making Money.
If they had their way, we'd soon call it the World Wide Tollboothnet.

the problem?

So, then the internet has a direct path to become fully
corrupt, and fractured. Maybe this is the end to this
agenda anyway?
