One Frightening Chart Shows What You Might Pay For Internet Once Net Neutrality Is Gone

50. People have to wake up

This is issue is the most important issue today. Bigger than NSA, Snowden, almost every other issue as everything comes down to information and who controls it.

The age we live in could very well be fondly remembered as the golden age of the internet. And age were you could surf where and when you wanted for a relatively low cost.

Sites like DU will slowly fade away. I think sites like these will still survive for a while, but only the die hards will regularly visit. One reason is that the bandwidth will be squeezed to the point where it will just be too frustrating to even get on here for most people.

But the main reason why it will die is no new subscribers will even find it. Its like when a family drives through the outskirts of any city and all you see is fast food billboards from a few monopolies. "Where should we eat?" to which the kids scream from the back seat "McArby Kings!" or whatever sign they like best. And there they all are nicely lined up along the highway for them to choose from.

They won't be keen to drive off the main road and go searching down single lanes to find a mom and pop cafe, even though its friendlier, and you get more for your money once your there, better food, and definitely better conversation.

Face it, most people are not like us, they do not keep up with politics. News sites are not their biggest reason to peruse the net. It is rapidly simply becoming a shopping mall. And that is how the big conglomerates will shape it, with your governments blessing.
