Can't imagine it'd really take hold. The "internet" started (for the most part) in local pockets around the country. Yeah, the whole www. thing and html and browser standards came about, but the concept was that it would always be free and public. People will not give that up despite government intervention.
Remember dialing-in to a BBS with telnet? If this crap goes through, it would only be a matter of time before private ISPs and new communications networks pop up, just like the good 'ol days. In conclusion, I don't really think this thing could go through because it would piss everyone off, and if it did, it might be a good thing, spurring a new "internet" that people control again.
- You say private ISPs, etc. The thing is the government can slam them as well or would if that happened. FUCKED R wepanacea
