Why shouldn't they be allowed to do that? Any customer who doesn't like it can just leave and chose a better provider. It's not like they're the emperors of the internet and soon there will be no alternatives. |

Yes it does mean that there will be no alternative...because then all Internet providers will start to do it because they can make a profit. That is like saying why not raise the price of gas to 5 dollars a gallon. They can do it, but is that really what you want? |

You can't make a profit if people don't like it. And free access is actually a major selling point to those that are interested in it. I think your assumption that all internet providers will start doing it is therefore unfounded. |
|
Free access? What are you talking about? I didn't see anything about that. |
|
I meant free as in unrestricted/unlimited in terms of contacting every server worldwide at the highest possible speed rates and access times, sorry. |
|
I don't know much about this kind of issue, but I don't think it will ever come to be that every company restricts certain portions of the internet; think about it, it would then be a huge commercial plus for any company which provides 'unlimited internet access'. So it'd never work out because there isn't the financial motive for a 100% monopoly. |
|
If this happened on a large scale then I'd imagine people would just Pirate the internet. |
|
Most big ISPs already do traffic shaping for torrents and the likes. Then then turn around and deny it. |

Ok, just for the sake of it. Where I livewe got: |

Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
We must destroy the internet companies. Blood will be spilled. |

Wow. |

Yea but internet, and wireless communication companies, are obviously taking this to court. Google can do this because they practically advertise the whole internet. But Google argues internet, and wireless communication should be free, like radio. |
|
Google is going to connect you to the internet through the toilet. |
|
Wow that's awesome! |
|
Google can rule over the Internet imo. That because they do the right things. Microsoft can fuck off. Did you see what they did to Yahoo? Fuck microsoft. Pitty there's no operating system remotely as good as windows. |
