But once you allow content providers to make deals for “preferred” service, that’ll go away. You thought there were too many ads and popups? Just wait… if your favorite blog suddenly had to pay extra to simply be on the map for any given ISP’s customers, money has to come from somewhere. So smaller blogs and websites fold — bigger ones are forced to become more aggressive at getting revenue.

And then you get the nightmarish “exclusive agreement” that the video clip mentions. Well, f!!!, there goes any kind of competition there.

And think about the economy as a whole. What percentage of it depends on internet businesses — businesses that will suddenly have more overhead and vastly decreased customer access? What about the hardware companies… if the Internet is more expensive for a company to use, why would they need servers?

What about a customer from service A tries to access a server on service B? Could a service block access to servers “outside the playground”? Sure. So you end up with isolated communities filled with pissed off people that are used to freedom of access. Brilliant business decision. Absolutely brilliant.

… but they’ll do it anyway, because these days it’s all about TODAY’S bottom line.
