2012: The Internet will die

Each Internet service provider important in the world is currently in talks with access and content providers to transform the Internet into a television as a means: no more freedom, you pay for a small number of sites that you can visit and you'll have to pay for subscriptions for each separate site that is not in the package.

Almost all small sites / services disappear over time and multinationals that are using vast amounts of money to the brute force of their content in all media will finally be able to approach the Internet the same way.

This famous illustration of why we need net neutrality is proving to be very close to the truth:
The ISPs have understood that the only way not to lose massive amounts of customers during this is to ensure there is no alternative, which is why all major suppliers of 'Internet access are currently agreements and planning to spend at the same time somewhere in the year 2012. This is currently underway on all under very strict conditions NDA (nondisclosure) because the last thing they want is the masses speak against it.

We were able to discover this information because we were well-known militants net neutrality for over a year and more time do we have contact with many high-profile industry. We will continue our activism and I Power site serves as a platform to unite our forces, share ideas and awareness.

It is our responsibility to spread the word, use any kind of political or media contacts you know May. The greater awareness exists, the more impossible it will be for ISPs to make this transition. Let us ensure that by 2012, the ISP will not even dare think to do anything that goes against the principles of net neutrality.

Net neutrality has been a very controversial subject for several years now and there have been many trials in cases where an Internet service provider blocked access to a competitor site or simply paralyzed download speeds on services who were in their view, use too much bandwidth. But this new information was confirmed by sources within the major ISPs and content providers gives us a much darker vision of what the future of Internet freedom will be as if we do not act by all ways we can.

Why is this happening? All media and marketing industry is losing its grip on the next generations of Internet-minded consumers. Statistics show that traditional media is losing popularity as the Internet continues to grow every year drastically. And the Internet is a place completely different: consumers are not more passive and advertisements do not have the same psychological effect they normally have a television. Internet users are very active and targeted: they do to the sites and services they want, and with an infinite number of alternatives, users simply go to another thing whether a service is marketed with too boring advertisements.With In this spirit, it is not surprising that the last 6 years, the industry has been secretly planning a "care" to secure the Internet as a playground purely commercial.
