answer:Many people think now could be the golden age as far as the internet is concerned, the brilliance of the internet is that its content is not policed, and no one body or country has ownership. Bush also stated a few times that he essentially wanted to find a way of owning the internet; Its never gonna be a good idea, in fact it would be catastrophic if it were to happen as it would be the first step towards controlling what you view and what you have access to. However the main point the two companies were talking about is actually the prioritise certain types of data, so P2P on free plans would no doubt be throttled down and prioritised on paid accounts, web surfing would no doubt be a priority service. Its all to countermeasure against the surge of P2P traffic, and to try and make some money out of the trend to dl more services in bulk. But yes ultimately this deal only benefits the super giants as they will be able to slow traffic to a rival ISP etc etc…all in all lets hope things stay the way they are for once!
