Two tier internet?? Bad!!

I found this an interesting article.
(Article link is below)

I know there have been much talking in the US about changing how the internet is presented. Basically, you pay you get.. different levels of access, different levels of advertising power...etc.

I think that essentially, this kind of internet is a terrible idea. I understand the principal of corporations making money. It's what a business is there to do.

Providing me with a bland internet where I can't find people or information that I find interesting or slowing down access to these sites (like say community based sites) would literally take me away from my PC or laptop.

Gotta try and make a buck off everything right??
