confirmed CIA

Tactical Nuke:
okay so I see how companies would stifle competition but I don't see how its going to become this apocalyptic scenario where websites are sold in packages like cable television

Nonnel:
that's not necessarily what will happen, but ISPs will be able to selectively push traffic to some sites and throttle it to others. I don't doubt they'd try to blackmail websites into giving them money for faster traffic or otherwise undo throttling in paid packages.

if you give them the ability to be starfishs then they're going to do it. there's tons of money to be made from this stuff.

The more people pull the "no one else is doing anything, so why should I?" mindsets out of their ass, the more likely the companies are to explore that vacancy where you pulled that bullstuff from your starfish.

Thats how.
