01:58:16 am, Categories: Activist Take Actions, 281 words ISP's confirm '2012: The Year The Internet Ends'
Update: Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP's all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These 'other' sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet.
Dylan Pattyn *, who is currently writing an article for Time Magazine on the issue, has official confirmation from sources within Bell Canada and is interviewing a marketing representative from TELUS who confirms the story and states that TELUS has already started blocking all websites that aren't in the subscription package for mobile Internet access.
They could not confirm whether it would happen in 2012 because both stated it may actually happen sooner (as early as 2010). Interviews with these sources, more confirmation from other sources and more in-depth information on the issue is set to be published in Time Magazine soon.
The reason why we're releasing this information is because we believe we can stop it. More awareness means more mainstream media shedding light on it, more political interest and more pressure on the ISP's to keep the Internet an open free space. We started this social network as a platform for Internet activism where we can join forces, share ideas and organize any form of protest that may have an impact. If we want to make a difference in this, we have to join together and stand united as one powerful voice against it.
Don't let the Internet degenerate to this:

Just look at the opening frame of the video.
What's with this obsession with 2012 anyway. If they wanted to shut down the internet, why not now?
all infrastructure under control of the people, funded by tax dollars and making internet access a right and not a privilege
i know, tre socialist of me, but i think it would be an easy sell, especially when faced with the idea of basically losing it all together. A whole generation now has come up with a wide open web, i dont think anyone will give it up without a fight...
but who knows....
Maybe certain "powers-that-be" want to shut down this free communication around the world [on the Internet] and it is a lot more complicated to do so and it would take some time to figure it out. So the ballpark is 2012, they say maybe 2010.
As for an obsession with 2012, are you asking me personally, or are you asking in general?
I have no obsession, but I am interrested in 2012...years leading to the year and the years after 2012.
A lot of people are. Just ask anyone you know or have a acquaintence with about 2012. And many groups of people around the world are discussing the possibilities of 2012.
I put up a post about the years 2013 to 2029.
This article simply mentions the year 2012. I would have put it up anyway if it had said 2015.
As for the boobage.
Heh heh....maybe the girl likes to show them off.
Ah well.
Sullivan, Rhiannon:
I believe the plan here in America is to develop and offer a nationwide "Free" wireless service. But as we know, nobody gives you something for nothing. The price would be censorship - "child proofng" for porn and "hate", as defined by the private owners of this benevolent web.
Of course private providers will stilll be allowed, but they will have a tough time competing with "free" and the plan is that they disappear over time.
All very legal - and very insidious!

love this planet.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
The government would love to completely take over the 'Net, since there's too many ideas and subversive talk about freedom, liberty and all of those other archaic thoughts from bygone days.
That fight is upon us and will continue till either US or THEM prevail.
Right now, not sure who's going to prevail.
Another way to help neuter the 'Net is for trolls and spammers to post endlessly, pushing their content front and center while the rest gets shoved overboard.
That can't be blamed on the government.
