Death of the Internet

If this is coming down the pipe in a few years we are screwed

Imagine if a bunch of corporations came together and forced us to pay a subscription for access to fractions of the web. Rather than have access to everything once you sign on, they have agreements in place so you can only visit a handful of sites. You then pay extra for other sites almost like cable TV. Some sites wont even be available anymore. The internet as you know it would be dead.

Its much more complex than this but apparently the infrastructure to do this in the next several years is already in place. Yikes. Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this site is saying there are plenty of mainstream media sources verifying this. Check it out and make your own decision.

I have a hard time imagining this will actually happen but this would really suck if it did.
