I don't think things will get as bad as it sounds. So unless it actually happens, I don't really care. A very large portion of the world's population would be against this, so there would be a huge backlash. I think some major companies such as Google would help fight this.
This is also backwards to what the government here is planning, to make broadband available around a larger percentage of the country. I think governments in many countries would go as far as to legislate against ISPs if they try to do that sort of shit.

I heard about that. They say they need more IP addresses so maybe they'll need to change to IPv6. It's maybe possible, like 2012 Doomsday, so ISP providers will set their download speed to about 56Kbps, like Dial-UP. But I don't really care about

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.
Not exactly concrete information, just that 'some' employee stated all ISPs, not just Verizon, will start using a subscription model...sounds like a bunch of hearsay and someone having a random stab in the dark of a guess at the future. If I remember, there was some bill submitted to the US government to do with restriction too (I remember watching a video featuring Moby supporting the cause) but there's not been much new chatter about it recently.
People are more sane in the UK than the States and I'd also think, like bloops, it wouldn't get very far here.

Won't happen. That's just a video made by an avid youtube user to get frontpage. The very same person titles their videos with the apparently most searched term words.

I wasn't talking about the whore in the video, I'm talking about the topic in general.

Owww! That really sucks! But I heard something 'bout that anyway. But if Internet starts to fall, everyone will be really pissed off. Somebody is really going to stop that, so it's not really going to happen.
And, yup, if Internet dies, everything dies!
