There's a huge Internet usage storm brewing in Canada. I hope it doesn't work it's way
south of the border where there is an even larger pool of users... I believe this issue is
going to hit the courts, but that doesn't mean a) that the damage will be minimal or b)
that the courts will not side with the big companies.
Here's the gist of a very scary development taking place vis-a-vis the Internet. I found the
article in a monthly magazine called "Common Ground" here in British Columbia (January
2009 issue under the title, "Hijacking the Information Highway"):
"...the open Internet is under threat by the very companies that bring it into our homes
and workplaces: the Internet Service Providers (ISP's). These big telecommuniction
companies want to become the gatekeepers of the Internet, charging hefty fees to reach
large audiences as they do with other mediums.
"Big telecom companies are trying to do away with the governing guidelines of the
Internet--known as Net Neutrality or common carriage--which require that Internet
Service Providers not discriminate, including speeding up or slowing down Web content
based on its source, ownership or destination. Net Neutrality protects our ability to direct
our own on-line activities and also maintains a level playing field for on-line innovation
and social change.
"The activity of limiting or slowing access to specific content and services is referred to as
'traffic shaping' or 'throttling' and it fundamentally changes how the Internet works. ...
ISP's already have a 'history of blocking access to contentious content (Telus), limiting
bandwidth for alternative content (Rogers) and raising the prospect of levying fees for
priority content delivery (Bell).
...
"...this is a battle between a handful of big telecom companies on one side and on-line
innovation, free speech, small business, independent media, artists and civil society on the
other. It is a handful of big telecom companies against the rest of Canada."
Obviously, something's got them spooked ...

they made this number "of the beast" in their biblical trash. The internet is what is bringing
the enemy down. They can no longer stop or control communications. Communications
and knowledge are the crucial keys to our agenda. PEOPLE EVERYWHERE NEED TO KNOW
THE TRUTH!!!

the internet corresponds to "666" which is of Satan, and what the yehuborim fear, which is why
they made this number "of the beast" in their biblical trash. The internet is what is bringing
