A reader sent me a link to a wonky article that claims that a Canadian conspiracy is underway to begin charging to access certain internet sites:
The plans made by the large telecom businesses would change the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and must pay to see each individual site beyond a certain point. Subscription browsing would be limited, extra fees would be applied to access out-of-network sites. Many sites would be blocked altogether.
It’s too late for April Fools Day, right?
Check out the source article as well.
