When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

The next step will be internet providers charging websites to be accessed through their servers and censorship or blocking of websites that don't purchase access rights or ad space.

I seriously doubt that. When the Clinton Administration floated the trial balloon of taxing the Internet, opponents said it would be a disaster. What you are suggesting may happen is akin to a tax on usage, so I'm sure the same people who were against taxing it will be just as opposed to charging for usage.

I wouldn't be so dismissive just yet. Companies are already talking about slowing down bandwidth for sites that refuse to pay access tolls and speeding up access to those that do. It's not like the general public can just plug into the wall and browse without an ISP, so essentially websites would be paying the toll fees for general subscribers to access their sites, even though those subscribers already pay a fee for the ISP service in the first place.

Oh, I agree it may happen. I just hope it wont.
