Death of Free Internet

Death of Free Internet is Imminent
Canada Will Become Test Case

Global Research, July 20, 2008

In the last 15 years or so, as a society we have had access to more information than ever before in modern history because of the Internet. There are approximately 1 billion Internet users in the world B and any one of these users can theoretically communicate in real time with any other on the planet. The Internet has been the greatest technological achievement of the 20th century by far, and has been recognized as such by the global community.
The free transfer of information, uncensored, unlimited and untainted, still seems to be a dream when you think about it. Whatever field that is mentioned- education, commerce, government, news, entertainment, politics and countless other areas- have been radically affected by the introduction of the Internet. And mostly, it's good news, except when poor judgements are made and people are taken advantage of. Scrutiny and oversight are needed, especially where children are involved.

Free internet should always be available for everyone. Since we no longer have a free press, it is the only way to have the truth communicated.

hehe governments and churches love to have ignorant subjects.

It looks to me that this will be an infrastructure issue. With the ever increasing demand on bandwidth there will surely be a ceiling to it, unless infrastructure is overhauled and invested in.

The free press was never "free". It cost x-cents an issue to read it. A subscription to one newspaper cost about the same as our internet connection to 100 million+ websites. Nothing in this world is free, at least not for very long. Who pays for the infrastucture upgrades and how that is passed along to the consumer will be interesting. How it happens, I don't know. Nothing in this world stays the same. The internet won't either.

I'll disconnect it. I don't like TV and I'm pretty sure won't like this.

This precedent is merely the first indication of what is planned for the Internet over the next 5-10 years, with the traditional web becoming little more than a vast spy database that catalogues people's every activity and bombards them with commercials, while those who comply with centralized control and regulation of content will be free to enjoy the new super-fast Internet 2, where DVD quality movies can be downloaded in seconds, but at the cost of the Internet losing its role as the last true outpost of freedom of speech.
.
The necessity to warn people of this agenda is no more pressing than now, and this is why we are launching a contest to create the most powerful video presentation detailing the growing cancer of Internet censorship.
