and many others. That is unless you and the webmaster pay the Internet service provider an annual/every 6-month service charge (which will be optional for both parties). If you and the web master don't pay the extra fee you won't be able to access hundreds, thousands, millions of other web sites. We're talkin' about a virtual filter on the Internet kinda sorta like China has in place. We're talkin' about a virtual denial of service. That's the message that will be staring many people in the face when they try to go to their favorite web site: DENIAL OF SERVICE. (And there are many more negative ramifications.) I'm talkin' about the critical issue of Net Neutrality. We'll know if they decide to filter the Internet on 12.21.2010. That's the day of reckonin'. It is on that day that the Federal Communications Commission will vote on rules that could stop companies like Time Warner, Comcast, Cox Cable, Verizon and AT&T from blocking where you go on the Internet. The vote is a test for President Obama and Chairman Julius Genachowski. Will they deliver on earlier promises and pass strong Net Neutrality rules, or will they cave to the phone and cable lobby and give us a fake version? Interested in watching them vote on this? Good. Cause we need your support. If you're in the neighborhood go to 445 12th Street, Washington, D.C., Room TW-C305. They'll start voting on it on or around 10:30 AM EST. If you're not in Washington, D.C. you can help the cause by going to SaveTheInternet dot com. And please be sure to a) sign the petition and b) get on their mailing list because if we can defeat the monopolies the monopolies will be back again. That's because they have a strong lobby and lots and lots of cash. They have no quit in them. So you can bet that they'll vote on this again in 365 days. petiton to send to obama: SaveTheInternet.com | Dear Obama: Dial F-C-C for Neutrality short crash course on net neutrality: [video=youtube;cWt0XUocViE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWt0XUocViE"]YouTube - Save the Internet![/url] YouTube - Net Neutrality[/video]

Those in charge don't like the "bewildered herd" to have any real freedom of speech, or access to information like that on the internet. Probably scared we might find out what contempt they really hold for us, or what it is they're actually up to! Basically it's a threat to power so it will need to be controlled.
