The Future of the Internet

Just look up Net Neutrality.

This is absolutely a terrible thing. Yeah let's let the companies take over the internet and isolate a user to a digital realm where the contextual basis of most information can be filtered in ways like Igoogle without a users preference. Sounds Great. Dont think it will happen? Look at what bills have been submitted to congress in the last two years regarding internet and network development. It is a gray line that does not need to be crossed.

Coming soon: BRANDED INTERNET. For example, though "AT&T" or "Comcast" may have a network in your neighborhood, soon you will enjoy choice of branded internet from a different company through their network...just like IPTV. The biggest obstacle is getting our local networks built BIG enough to deal with the bandwidth. It needs to happen FAST. Big questions...How to get it done?...Who PAYS to build it? If Gov't gets involved = FEES FOR ALL (on internet bill)...constant bickering...slow build.
