The end of the internet?

This brief age of information freedom that has reigned since Al Gore invented the internet may well be about to come to an end. If the communication industry giants currently lobbying the US government have their way, we will all pay a *lot* more for internet usage, providing content (which is what this wanking blog does, by the way), even sending emails.

This is not a done deal and it appears that some of the larger "content providers" like Google and Amazon are weighing in on the side of the good guys (for now). This is something that we should all be concerned about.


I'll keep an eye out for updates and post them here.
