Pay for View Internet? lol
quote/
In the upcoming weeks watch for a report in Time Magazine that will attempt to smooth over the rough edges of a diabolical plot by Bell Canada and Telus, to begin charging per site fees on most Internet sites. The plan is to convert the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and then pay to visit sites beyond a cutoff point
quote/
At present, the world condemns China because that country restricts certain websites. "They are undemocratic; they are removing people's freedom; they don't respect individual rights; they are censoring information,” are some of the comments we hear. But what Bell Canada and Telus have planned for Canadians is much worse than that. They are planning the death of the Internet (free) as we know it, and I expect they'll be hardly a whimper from Canadians. It's all part of the corporate plan for a N,e.w ;W'or.l,d. ,O.r,d.e,r; and virtually a masterstroke that will lead to the creation of billions and billions of dollars of corporate profit at the expense of the working and middle classes.
There are so many other implications as a result of these changes, far too many to elaborate on here. Be aware that we will all lose our privacy because all websites will be tracked as part of the billing procedure, and we will be literally cut off from 90% of the information that we can access today. The little guys on the Net will fall likes flies; Bloggers and small website operators will die a quick death because people will not pay to go to their sites and read their pages.

chev: Coporates are at it again schemeing how to make millions of $$. Will this be the end of smaller sites now that it "may" be a charge by ISP's? they go on about China restricting the flow of info. geez
Did you need a hug Chevy is that why you posted that there, about the fact that the poor continue to get poorer, and the rich corporates just get richer?!
It wasnt untill now i realised i put in the wrong thread -silly me
i wonder what happened to the rage thread
There is actually a "whinge whinge" thread in the old Chat forum, but I have a feeling those old forums don't actually work very well anymore, so we're best to forget whinging - heh heh - and stick to hugs instead!
The world would be a much better place, I reckon, anyway! LOL
wow i havent been on here for ages
can i have a hug??
Big HUGS from Ev
thanks
um i was originally LB and the i was swayer is my idol
i miss swayer....
Thanks Ev *hugs back*
Hopefully when Ben's album comes out we'll have MORE to look at on here again
Yeh, I agree Ev. Only came along to have a look here because of a message from BIMI!
And agree with you too BIMI!
Not that Ev will be that excited.
I must be the biggest moaner-lisa here
1/ someone [i wont say who] removed themselves from my bebo friends list and i havnt even said anything to them so its not lyke i offended them in any way Lol
2/ Petrol way up and on its way thru the roof. Someone said that if the NZ dollar goes to 70 US Cents, the price per litre we pay will then jump 48cents immediately.
3/ butter prices jumped 300% i still rememebr when it was 99cents a pound. Milk gone up too
rant over. for now
*hugs Chevy* It's ok, Chevy, we all need to rant sometimes ... I had a rant to someone just this week in fact
It's disgusting how regular, law abiding citizens have to go without in so many areas, just so that they can run their cars 
When is the government going to take some responsibility and stop this from happening?
And I like you can't believe how bad the petrol prices are now!!!
No worrys this Govt will be out on its azz come Nov. but who will replace them? Lol i dont think the next Govt will do any better seeing the Worlds economy is in reccession and currently at negative growth. My job is safe for now but im not boasting about it. bring on redundancy -big payouts and Super payouts oh yeah!
Phantomb, my condolences buddy for your bro. i dont know what to say :'(
