The Internet has gangrene.
A rot is spreading through net slowly but surely, destined to change or eliminate what we once held as unalterable truths of daily net life. A combination of events from the Hollings-Disney “Censor all Americans on the hardware level” bill to the increased intrusive advertising scams of corporate America is leading us down the path to an Internet that we will scarcely recognize in just a few short years. Although not related directly to the content-copyright wars now about to rage across the net, Time Warner has dropped the other metaphorical shoe on what will surely be a factor in limiting p2p; Metered Bandwidth for all RoadRunner users
. That’s right, starting sometime later this year the AOL-Time Warner Empire will start charging users who go over a specified bandwidth limit. If your using any kind of p2p program and are use to leaving it on overnight, you could be in for a staggering bill at the end on the month. Essentially, this is the end of p2p on the RoadRunner network unless you are willing to pay vast sums of money to support your habit. Considering the large number of people who are RoadRunner customers and use p2p, this will be a major blow to Gnutella, Fasttrack and several other allready struggling communities out there as RoadRunner users are forced by economic necessity to remove themselves from these networks. The dark ages of the internet are fast approaching.
