I don't think this is real. It would have been on the bigger news, and all the links eventually go down to one site, which doesn't have a link at all

Re: End of internet as we know it 2012?

Ive been reading through the earlier posts about Pay per Click, its a nice idea for big companies but then you get little guys who get annoyed and do exactly what was said - found their own ISP, in the UK there are tons of ISP's all offering great deals, but to be honst, I had to go with a comapny called talk talk, their cheif a guy called Charles Dunston, realised you could give a product cheaply and still maje a profit, so he began by giving away phone calls, all you did was pay line rental and calls to other customers who use the company are free, then he looked at the internet, an dgave that away too...

Thats right talktalk have free broadband in the UK, I have my phone line with them get dree calls to all my familly and the peeps I know best as they are with them and because I pay the line rental I get free broadband, Ive had it for two tears now and cannot fault the service I get, when other companies begin to see how this works, the price of broadband just keeps going down,


I cannot see a pay per click system being viable, instantly hackers would create short cuts around the system and reduce the clicks you have registered, its a poor idea created by a greedy person who is far too paranoid to think that the Internet revolution is a big a change to society as the industrial revolution was 100 years ago, China restrict Internet access on a huge scale but they don't impose the pay per click, I cannot see how a system like that would be used to restrict the freedom of movement/information etc, every click would have to be logged on top of that the authority's can barely register all the Internet sites around never mind the amount of traffic that goes through them.

I heard somewhere that if all the home pages on the Internet were changed into a single room that led to a room per page, it would be 3 or four times bigger than the earth!

The system originally went online on August 4th 1997.

Human decisions were removed from strategic defense.

Skynet began to learn at a geometric rate.

It originally became self aware on August 29th 1997 2:14 am Eastern Time.

In the ensuing panic and attempts to shut Skynet down, Skynet retaliated by firing American nuclear missiles at their target sites in Russia. Russia returned fire and three billion human lives ended in the nuclear holocaust.

This was what has come to be known as "Judgment Day", 2012.

Oh my.

Re: End of internet as we know it 2012?

I think using pay-per click wouldnt be such a wise idea for ISP's... As they would loose customers, mostly people who don't like that kind of stuff or idea...
And monitoring everything you do online isnt right, its invasion of privacy... And yet again, being that people wouldn't like the idea.. a lot of companies would loose money, and they would eventually be forced to undo what they done...
The idea is stupid.. and im sure lots of other people will agree with me.
If ISP's think of the result of what this may do....

For one... Blocking ads isnt hard, people can just get proxy server software or any kind of webfiltering software and block out all the ads... which I already do, because ads slow down loading speed of websites...
I have some javascripts 'crunched' on many different websites, rendering them useless...
And have an excellent firewall... I do check the logs on it a lot, and block anything I don't like...
I have noticed my ISP tried to port scan me (through DNS), and I blocked that and switched DNS to OpenDNS, including the use of my own DNS server...
But yea... I don't like this idea of pay-per-click... and I highly doubt the internet will end anytime soon...

Yeah I really Doubt they'd start resticting acess or using a pay per click sort of thing because they'd lose money FAST, because for all the demand there also IS alot of supply

Re: End of internet as we know it 2012?

If i was ever restricted on the internet the first thing i would do is changed my dns servers and visit any site i want without the payper click.... but seriosly thats going to be impossible and like the chap said above access will become more competitive.
