The plan is to convert the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and then pay to visit sites beyond a cutoff point...."
And they'll keep on pushing it, with fear-mongering excuses like "security" and "we gotta stop the turrrurrrists", the catch-all's they've used since 9/11 to take away our rights.
They're already spying on our e-mails, phone calls, and with every website you hit a record is kept by the US gov't. Ask AT&T and Verizon. Well don't bother, because they damned sure won't tell ya.
Of course you don't hear much about it from the corporate TV news, since their job is to keep you info-tained and misinformed (ie: lied to).
