I hope you’re right. The problem is more in the fact that once the telco’s have control of who gets preferred treatment, it doesn’t really matter what the government says (nor us for that matter).

Google is actually fighting this as much as the regular guy, so it could affect searches.

Also, I like to think the Canadian (and to some degree, German) government is a bit more clever and not pro-business when it comes to things like this. I guess only time will tell.

I can affect anyone on the internet. One big way is that if the Big companies pay for preferred listings, you and I will never make it to the first 20-30 pages in the search engines.

On an internet that is split into the haves and the have-nots, guess who wins?

Don’t forget, if the telco’s and cable companies can do it here, the one’s in Germany and Canada and everywhere else will follow suit.

Although I’m nervous that this will “affect people all over the world”. I wonder how that would be possible..?

Good luck stopping this crap.
