2012: The Year The Internet Ends

This is an interesting theory. Of all things, though, I see major corporations and ISP’s using this tactic only temporarily, to balance the network load – if they don’t manage to cope with the demand. Remember how ISP’s charged per minutes, or maybe later on by data exchange?

Never happen. Business won’t let it. Too much commerce happening to limit use.
What about ISPs that are now battling for net neutrality? Will they not allow us to surf everything like we do now?
Won’t this just move more people to them and away from the main ISPs?
Does remind me of Compuserv though.
