Fuck The Telecommunications Industry

[Doctor Destiny 42]

If I didn't have a reason to hate America before, they're just handing out reasons. This is just a frightening prospect. To lose my Internet freedom because some ****ing corporate fatcats don't have enough illgotten money is just dispicable. I hope these greedy ****s die in horrible ways for attempting to abridge free speech, assemply and expression.

 

I mean really, what in the **** are they going to accomplish with this? The very idea would spark a fire and spur a hatred from which the corporations pushing this will never escape... although, I'm not sure with the way Americans are these days.

 

Either way, **** these greedy assholes.

So they want to control what you do on your internet connection? :shock:

Thats total ****!!!!

Yikes... I can't see this gaining any real momentum, but it sucks that they're still trying to do it :shock:

 

Also Fenring, this shouldn't give you reason to hate America. Remember that America GAVE us the internet :wink:

[Luk3us 63]

Meh... It could be worse....

 

It could happen here! Till then, does it really matter?

 

I'm kidding... No really I am...

 

 

But surely something like that wouldn't come into being would it? Meh..

If it does, trust me, there will be mass-protest. Verizon and AT&T buildings would be in flames.

 

Also, isn't this kind of violating this?

[F15pilotX 4]

I'd say so.....I couldn't give a crap what happens to those 2-3 companies' buildings....I use VirginMobile

i use verizon DSL and verizon phone service.

does that mean faster service for me? :lol:

For sites that pay the highest price, yeah. Otherwise, no.

 

Also, isn't this kind of violating this?

Yes, yes it is. That's the f*cking problem with it.

 

Also Fenring, this shouldn't give you reason to hate America.

Only in this country would big business try to hog everything for themselves. Denying free speech for money and power is an excellent reason to hate America.

 

But surely something like that wouldn't come into being would it? Meh..

You'd think so but this country is all about greenbacks, which isn't bad until you begin abridging rights like freedom of speech.

NO

 

UK Professor had the idear first like back in '70s-'80s. he connected Oxford uni with NYU with phone line to transfer research info then with european unis before Yale and other US unis got into it. After about 150+ Unis were on this 'Research transfer link' the US millitary straight Jacked it for Cold War comms and wacked up the 13 uber servers that form the backbone of todays net

 

later some smart arse gave us the version we had today.

 

Originaly when the net first came about there were several different 'versions' WWW was the most popular so won out (im a bit rusty on this bit.....)

 

 

Don't forget it was a BRIT!!! Who started the net

 

 

P.S. Internet2 is in development..... @ Oxford! :P

Gona be super high speed Uni service thou...... but its being structured to be enlarged like the net we currently have.

 

 

P.P.S. Kings gona take all the Oxford stuff so well..... meh....

Likewise.

 

 

@Badger- Sure, but the internet- as we know it today- is an American creation :wink:

[Doctor Destiny 42]

Only cause Al Gore invented it, of course.

[BWare 0]

Oh yes... where would we be without him??

[Doctor Destiny 42]

In the dark ages, no doubt.

[Guest MadBadger]

Or like present day New Zeeland....
