Simple question. Where did Google get its start up cash from? Anyone heard of InQtel before? A "two tiered" internet is not some futuristic dystopian tale, it is reality right now. ISPs are already throttling network traffic they arbitrarily define as illegitimate, as well as actively blocking web content that is 100% legal, but politically or economically inconvenient. They will continue to exert more control over the internet and your ability to use it freely and privately. All one has to do is look at Google's recent decision to force YouTube users to attach a phone number to their account, forcing them to choose between privacy, and often months or years worth of work developing a profile. The pattern is clear, tempt you with free services, make you dependent on them, then extort information or cash once the market is controlled. This isn't conspiracy, it is corporate strategy.
