  12. Its pretty simple actually......... They see a problem with freeloaders. On the tall end of the power curve, those 'loaders are AOL, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and other large sources of the container cargo we call "content". Out on the long tail, the freeloaders are you and me. The big 'loaders have been getting a free ride for too long and are going to need to pay. The Information Highway isn't the freaking interstate. It's a system of private roads that needs to start charging tolls. As for the small 'loaders, it hardly matters that they're a boundless source of invention, innovation, vitality and new business. To the carriers, we're all still just "consumers". And we always will be. The carriers have been lobbying Congress for control of the Net since Bush the Elder was in office. Once they get what they want, they'll put up the toll booths, the truck scales, the customs checkpoints--all in a fresh new regulatory environment that formalizes the container cargo business we call packet transport. This new environment will be built to benefit the carriers and nobody else. The "consumers"? Oh ya, sure: they'll benefit too, by having "access" to all the good things that carriers ship them from content providers. Is there anything else? No. Crocodile grins began to grow on the faces of carriers as soon as it became clear that everything we call "media" eventually would flow through their pipes. All that stuff we used to call TV, radio, newspapers and magazines will just be "content" moving through the transport layer of the pipe system they own and control. Think it's a cool thing that TV channels are going away? So do the carriers. The future à lá carte business of media will depend on one medium alone: the Net. And the Net is going to be theirs. The Net's genie, which granted all those e-commerce wishes over the past ten years, won't just get shoved back in the bottle. No, that genie will be piped and priced by the packet. The owners of those pipes have a duty to their stockholders to make the most of the privileged position they've been waiting to claim ever since they got blind-sided, back in the 80s and 90s. (For an excellent history of how the European PTTs got snookered by the Net and the Web, see Paul F. Kunz' Bringing the World Wide Web to America.) They have assets to leverage, dammit, and now they can. Thus, the Era of Net Facilitation will end. The choke points are in the pipes, the permission is coming from the lawmakers and regulators, and the choking will be done. No more free rides, folks. Time to pay. It's called creating scarcity and charging for it. The Information Age may be here, but the Industrial Age is hardly over. The carriers are going to lobby for the laws and regulations they need, and they're going to do the deals they need to do. The new system will be theirs, not ours. The NEA principle--Nobody owns it, Everybody can use it, Anybody can improve it--so familiar to the Free Software and Open Source communities will prove to be a temporary ideal, a geek conceit. Code is not Law. Culture is not Free. From the Big Boys' perspective, code and culture are stuff nobody cares about. One reason transport trumps place is that business itself is largely, though not entirely, conceived in shipping terms. The "value chain" is a transportational notion. We speak of "loading" goods into "channels" for "distribution" to "end users" or "consumers". We even talk about "delivering" services. On the other hand, we have understood markets as places since marketplaces were the only kinds of markets we had. The metaphors that come naturally to Wall Street are helpful here. When we speak of "bulls", "bears" and "invisible hands", we assume those beings operate in an place-like environment. When we say markets have feelings--"excitement", "fear", "anticipation", "reaction"--we assume those happen in an environment (that is, a place) as well. Even "Wall Street" is ontologically locational. It is a real place that serves, by what cognitive linguistics call metonymy, for the whole stock market, which we also conceive of as a place. If they get away with it in America, dont think you'll be safe in Europe or China. Money and greed have no political or geographical boundries. And Globalization with corporations is happening whether you like it or not. How really far off is a Robocop type world where a few large corporations control everything, including the Internet and your access to it. It's just to complicated for the average citizen [American] to grasp and most simply do not care if it isnt directly interfering with the usual trip to the mall or coffehouse. As a tech I can tell you 90% of my friends and customers do not even really know what the Net is: or care. They will simply eat whatever they're fed as long as it looks nice on the outside and smells good. They will not notice or even care if it's different on the inside. And we the people who care about keeping The Net True are too few in numbers and resources. Like really, when WAS the last time you schmoozed your money grubbing local politician with a free lunch or box seats at the B-Ball game ? We've already been sold out. We will simply need to build another net. And I'm sure if we are not careful it may become illegal to even do that; imagine. It would be easy to bog down starting any type of New Internet infrastructure with rules and regulations that only those with deep pockets can abide by. Or worst yet taxing the broadband 802.11 wireless spectrum and forcing anyone who uses it to identify themselves with a callsign that must be registered which in turn will allow your bandwidth usage to be monitored, controlled and taxed. Anyone then transmitting on these frequencies without paying taxes and the proper ID can be considered criminals: thats you and me. You'll have people like meter maids driving around with rf sniffers looking for Airwave thieves. The subject of my comment says it all. We have no chance of winning. We the people that is- the people who feed the fat mouths of the fat businesses who bully us to feed them more. We the little people compared to the "big people" of the big businesses who run not only the US, but the world. The funny thing is that we the people, or most of them that is, let it happen. We are still letting it happen today. Don't like your isp? Then go WiFi. Don't have WiFi access, then make one. But it sure as hell won't be cheap. The problem with the companies today (Sony, biggest example) is that they treat us worse than dog crap. They treat us like criminals when we are the ones who bought/buy thier products-in our own damn country. These companies are going to a far reach to be able to tell us we can't download this, access this, or view that. F*** them, I say. I pay good money to connect to this internet that is maintained (the place, not the pipes) by the people. (Now going to talk about piracy) The companies such as the RIAA and MPAA shouldn't fight the people who are "stealing" "thier" content. I think they should embrace it. So what if they lose a couple of pennies out of thier fat The problem is the big companies who are sitting in thier 42 room houses smoking pipes and sipping on $300 wine think that the American and world "consumers" are nothing but idiots who can't even live without the microwave or television. That's why they can't win in this way. We the people are too smart and can figure a way around the DRM, flags, and etc. It may take a year, it may take ten, or even a hundred years for us to find an alternative to the internet where it may be a free place to share ideas and information, and be free from the communications market. And possibly free. The companies who think that the American society is made up of degenerates and losers are the ones who will eventually lose. The modern computers were made by geeks and nerds still in school. Not some fancy technicians who were paid big bucks to be able to throw together a hard drive, a processer, a motherboard and a cooling unit all in a bright excessed case. How does this relate to the whole pipes deal? It relates to it in a similar way. What the global consumers don't realize is that the telecommunication industry isn't that smart. If you were to ever watch "The History of Hacking", it shows the original Captain Crunch and Steve Wozniak(co-founder of Apple) who "hacked" the phone systems with a little box that made dial noises to be able to get free calls to anywhere in the world. That wasn't long ago. The communication industry didn't just jump off it's butt and get smart with technology. The smartist thing in the world is the human brain, not the computer, not a machine, and not pipes assigned by a big company. You have to be smarter than the object you are using. I know there are brains out there who can make a free alternative to the internet in very little time. Its all will power and the ability to pry yourself from a computer screen and the television. Sure the future internet may not be completely free, it shouldn't be. As long as its free from wires and out of the greedy business leader's hands, and into the public's then thats alright with me. It shouldn't be free, but it shouldn't cost you a half of your check a month. This is so because it costs money to run a WiFi station. It needs to be maintained by people. I can tell you right now that something such as WiFi can be much cheaper than installing wires and pipes into each individual household-as long as it has a stable and distant signal. All of that is for the future, but right now we the people are losing a battle on our own turf. The sad part is we are helping them and not ourselves. If you want to help feed this albatross of an industry, then thats your choice, but I myself would love to see something that evey person on the earth deserves- freedom of speech and free of charge from it. AND THATS HOW YOU CAN AVOID BEING MUTED
