I see this as inevitable with the continued consolidation and our pay-to-play Congress. When you look at this statement and Verizon & AT&T's participation in the P4P project (which accelerates "legit" P2P while leaving "evil" P2P intact) it's inevitable that the entertainment industry gets what they want.

They've got more money and a louder bullhorn than you. They've already convinced much of the public that the desire for a content & device agnostic network is the mad ramblings of a bunch of cyber-hippies...

Yesterday
We made friendships here and far away,
Greed and power brought our judgment day,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
There weren't half the sites there used to be,
Deep Inspection hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly!

Why'd they cut my flow?
Now it's slow. But they just say,
"You'll do something wrong!"
How I long for yesterday!

Yesterday,
We built networks for both work and play!
Then the bullies took it all away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

When they dimmed the dawn,
Progress gone! So now they say,
"Tune in, See what's on!"
How I long for yesterday!

Yesterday
Iron walls could not keep friends away,
World-wide networks gave each man a say,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

by Robb Topolski, a cyber-hippie. Inspired by and dedicated to Karl at DSLReports. Parody of McCartney lyrics to the Beatles hit Yesterday, which has several paradoxical links: including reflection, the 1960s, breaking-up, best (songs/inventions) of 20th century, etc.
