ISP's confirm 'End of The Internet' by 2012
Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees
officially confirm that by 2012 ISP's all over the globe will
reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only
offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and
require extra fees for every other site you visit. These 'other'
sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down,
resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet.
Dylan Pattyn, who is currently writing an article for Time
Magazine on the issue, has official confirmation from sources
within Bell Canada and is interviewing a marketing representative
from TELUS who confirms the story and states that TELUS has already
started blocking all websites that aren't in the subscription
package for mobile Internet access (overview of which sites are in
the package:

). They could not confirm whether it would happen in 2012 because
both stated it may actually happen sooner (as early as 2010).
Interviews with these sources, more confirmation from other sources
and more in-depth information on the issue is set to be published
in Time Magazine soon.
