The internet will die in 2012

[1313Jr.1313]

i know that this may not be specific to the fart bar and should probably go to the cafe forum, but not everybody checks the cafe forum and this is something that EVERYBODY here should see. if this happens then this forum will die. ggg will die. fartbabes? dead. all that we will be left with is myspace, google, yahoo, wikipedia, and the other "big sites." the basic premise is that in 2012 ALL major ISPs will be switching to a new format that will literally KILL THE INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT!!!

this is not just some crap that has not been researched. for the short story on what's going to happen, read the article in the second link. if english isn't your first language, get it translated. the picture that i'm linking to
(http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3Den%26sa%3DG) is pretty much what the internet will become. this will not be a slow procedure either. they will literally activate these plans overnight.

lol.

That would never work, people would stop using the internet, and build their own networks, one way or another, it would be done.

I dont think this would happen either, just seems pointless with more loss then gain by doing it.

no, the big companies will abuse the monopoly (monopoly together) and keep any individuals out. this will only work because they will leave no alternatives. what we are on is a forum, not a network. if you use their lines (cable, dsl, or regular dial up as well as the satellite networks currently out there) you will not be able to create your own network. unless you physically hooked an ethernet cable up from your computer to any other computers in the network (or something to that extent) there will be no way for you to create a network. as it says, if you want something not in the package you will have to pay a subscription fee FOR EACH SITE per month, plus the fee from the site itself if it has one. this is something that people have to fix now, before it's completely set in stone.

I dont think it would work, it looks like theres too much loss then gain. Loads of people would leave and not bother, I know i sure would, just a waste of money really. Why would I pay extra money when i cant see what i want. Just makes no sense. It would never work.

But its a crazy world where all sorts of stupid crap happens so i dunno.

This isn't true at all. The only event happening in 2012 is that the majority of ISPs are switching to LLU networking, and this subscription model is completely false.

[1313Jr.1313]

really though, do you think that people would just leave the internet? people will continue on as is, but the thing is that they will have no alternatives. look at radio. it used to be (in america at least) that people would go around and have their own radio stations. now that time is gone (different reasons of course), but have people stopped listening to the radio? the same applies to television. also, there would be HUGE gain by the people making the switch from advertising and the like.

bro3886x, i can see that you didn't read OR watch the vid so i'd like to know how you know what is in the vid is false, having not watched it (unless you did in which case i really have no idea where you're coming from). the subscription model (i'm assuming you mean the pic) is not EXACTLY what it will look like, but it WILL be something along those lines. i bring in evidence to show that it's true, what have you brought to say otherwise? in all fairness though, had it been 6 days ago i would be on your side about this, but a significant amount of NDAs were disclosed on may 30th (as stated in the vid AND article) that say otherwise and you can't exactly ignore them.

the fact of the matter that net neutrality is getting closer and closer to being eliminated every day that nothing gets done.
