hiatus | How does this spell the "end of the internet" ? It maybe unfiltered, but it doesn't mean they are going to stand around while a user sprays the internet with spam or viruses. You can do exactly what these guys are wile maintaining network security by removing the problem WHEN it appears.

I'm sure it won't be evident, at first, but I'd be willing to be quite a bit that once it becomes widespread and starts catching on, it'll greatly GREATLY hinder the Internet. |

I don't know about that. Net neutrality would insure that information you wish to send, be it an email or video, will be permitted to pass unhindered. Changing the current internet modus operandi to one where providers can stack the deck by charging for differential service is more likely to benefit large businesses and corporations. For example, Google and Yahoo can EASILY afford to pay the QoS extortion fees that providers will want, however, a small, independent website run by an individual or small group or a small business won't be able to pay up. Their site will be adversely affected.
I'm sure it won't be evident, at first, but I'd be willing to be quite a bit that once it becomes widespread and starts catching on, it'll greatly GREATLY hinder the Internet. Considering the internet has been operating in a basically neutral state since its inception, I don't think the line of reasoning that it will hinder internet development is contrary to the history of the internet. The neutral nature of the internet until now has actually allowed the internet to develop as quickly as it does because it means anyone can provide contents, services and products.
