I heard of it for the first time. And well, this sounds disgusting.

If this happens, I'll seriously start a revolution of hackers fighting internet providers. Seriously

    @bondman no they cannot because if you are using https they know the ip addresses of destination and source but they cannot read the package because its encrypted.

    @wolt That's not it exactly. It's more about denying ISPs the power to choose which sites they service from getting their bandwidth, instead of keeping this choice in the hands of the user, as it is now.

    In other words, preventing them from making you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-your-back deals with content providers, which would essentially be giving an independent party arbitrary control over what you have access to on the internet, and would turn the net into the cesspool of corporate-owned propaganda factories that is cable television today.

    It won't really change existing content providers or how they behave, more that certain of them that pay more might drown out the rest, and you might be subjected to them more. It's so that the companies with the most money will be able to buy out the little guy, except the little guy gets completely shafted because all the money goes to the ISP and they're left with a hefty bill just to keep operating.
