***Important Anouncement***

[Ataraxis]

Well i guess it could have been around awhile, I dont know, ive only known about it a couple of weeks. But this time its a bit more serious as corporations have confirmed that what i say is true. So this time its a bit more than a rumor.

I'd post more, but I'm traveling to Nigeria very soon. It seems a government official there needs me to help him get some money out of the country, and I get to keep a pretty large percent.

Really? A woman from Cote d'Ivoire wants me to give her shelter in exchange for a percentage of her assassinated family's ten million dollar legacy. The real funny thing is that she apparently also has a quaint little profile on SinglesNet. The things you learn!


As has been said before, I'll explode into outrage only once I go from 'being informed of yet another scam' to 'being informed of a situation whose gravity is supported by proof'. If you can provide a source to your claims, you'll find that it'll be easier to get people to believe you.

Net neutrality is old meme. The best thing that ever came out of it was the "series of tubes" comment, and that's long gone.

I've known about this, and quite frankly, nobody is going to let this happen. If it will. The very proposition that these companies make is ludicrous, and if the other companies have half a wit, they'll use it as a marketing ploy to bring the people over to their side of business.

Heard it, seen it, almost bought the Tee-shirt.

*yawn*

Now move on to the next all-important topic. This has been around for a long time; it was never really in any danger of being passed then and more people know about it now.

Simply put in the free market such a maneuver would be stupid as hell. The providers that pull such a stunt will lose business and the competition that doesn't pull such a stunt would gain more business. If those ISPs want to fall on their swords then let them. I'll laugh like the devil when their stocks plummet^^

Well, unless they all defect from the "Free Internet Channels" to the "Pay-Per-Channel" choice...

This is just like a Game Theory, but I can't write it out nicely for everyone to understand like Sighter can.

Let's just say, if every one of the ISP companies go the route predicted in the first post, nascent indie ISPs will emerge to grab the userbase away.

Viva la revalucion.
