	http://www.startribune.com/535/story/458590.html I say if this happes it would be a flagrant oversteping of boundries by the telecom companies. The telcoms want to completely control the net and only let you see what they want you to see based on what sites pay them the most money!! This is deviance!! -----signature----- Forumplanet Conqueror

	In Reply To #1 So don't buy their services then? Money talks, you know. Silicon valley may be the birthplace of computing and Internet, but both has outgrown their home long ago. It's time the lawyers and politicians realise that U.S. lost their leading position and will fall behind greatly if they do something silly like allowing broadband providers to choose what Web content they transmit. Hell, India is ahead of U.S. nowadays, when it comes to computer science :P -----signature----- ----------- PlanetBlackAndWhite

	In Reply To #2 Yeah, well, if I don't buy their services then I have no internet at all. Furthurmore, the telecoms in this country have a history of ganging up on the consumer, so if one instituted these changes they all would, otherwise the one company would lose all its customers. -----signature----- Forumplanet Conqueror

	In Reply To #3 No wonder U.S. is loosing ground to foreign contries then. Politicians are idiots and the companies won't hesitate to prey on that. -----signature----- ----------- PlanetBlackAndWhite
