ISP's confirm '2012: The Year
The Internet Ends'

Update:Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon)
employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP's all over the globe will reduce
Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small
standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site
you visit.
These 'other' sites would then lose all
their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the
end of the Internet
Dylan Pattyn *, who is currently writing an article
for Time Magazine on the issue, has official confirmation from sources within
Bell Canada and is interviewing a marketing representative from TELUS who
confirms the story and states that TELUS has already started blocking all
websites that aren't in the subscription package for mobile Internet access.
They could not confirm whether it would happen in 2012 because both stated it
may actually happen sooner (as early as 2010).
Interviews with these sources, more confirmation from other sources
and more in-depth information on the issue is set to be published in Time
Magazine soon
What can we do?
The reason why we're releasing this
information is because we believe we can stop it. More awareness means more
mainstream media shedding light on it, more political interest and more pressure
on the ISP's to keep the Internet an open free space. We started this social
network as a platform for Internet activism where we can join forces, share
ideas and organize any form of protest that may have an impact.
If we want to make a difference in this, we have to
join together and stand united as one powerful voice against it
