    y u no do it?

    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Do you agree with ISP's deciding which sites will and won't load based on fees?

    The fact that they already tried something like this is too much.

    I think they should open up the marketplace for broadband competition. We gave the telecom companies a monopoly so they could grow and give us better services. Yet they are making more money than any of the other broadband providers in any other country and we have the slowest connections in the modern world. And Now they are trying to extort Google, Amazon etc.?

    I don't know about the rest of you but to me the world is becoming more scarier as time goes on. The last thing we need is more private sectors controlling a public domain (not domain name for those easily confused). If you can go somewhere and get all points of view, the internet is that place. I'm starting to wish I was Benjamin Button where I can just get younger as time goes on. Who wants to go in on some real estate in Antarctica with me?:confused:

    This is truly monopolizing the Internet. Should be curbed in bud itself.

    Honestly it would be a bad business move on their part. Very many unhappy customers. If any of my favorite sites get blocked I would just stop my service because I wouldn't have a reason to use it.
