If Ever Someone Needed to Be Slapped |
Posted by Terry Howard @ 9/19/2006 
The internet providers of the US (which are these jerk offs) are trying to make moves to charge the "multi-billion dollar silicon valley tech companies" extra for the services they provide you, their subscribers. They want to charge you for the access and then the providers for sending you data you requested via the pipe you paid to have access for. Horseshit! Plain and simple.
So let's analyze this horrific slap in the face commercial. First, they are clearly calling out Google. They use the term "Google-eyed" and then through the phrase "Mumbo Jumbo" onto the screen in Google's font and logo colors. So, we are all agreed, they are casting Google intot he role of the greedy company that is trying to fleece us, right? Okay then, when is the last time Google sent you a bill? Do you pay for search, as a user or site owner? Do you pay for Gmail, to send or receive? Do you pay for Froogle, to look at or be in it? Do you pay for Google Maps, to use or develop with it? Do you pay for anything at Google what so ever outside of being either A) A business advertiser, or B) a purchaser of the Google Search appliances? NO! So right there these frauds are flat out lying to you. Now, do you pay for cable internet access? Do you pay for renting the cable modem? Do you pay for having a tech guy come out and set up said cable modem? Do you pay for having them not show for hours if at all missing your work and not getting paid? So just who is wanting to fleece who here?
Short answer, the cable and telecoms want to rip you and every internet service provider off by double charging for the same packets of data. It's like putting a toll basket on either side of the arm at the toll booth. IT IS A RIP OFF!!! How will this even work? And they know exactly what will happen if and when they get approval to fleece the website owners and free service providers of the world, these free services will have to pass the costs off to you the consumers or go out of business, and the people who are getting the money in the end, the cable and telcoms, will get to say, see, they are greedy and want your money! It just doesn't get much more insulting than that ad right there and the snow job the NCTA is trying to pull on the American Consumer. Blatant piss on your head and call it raining commercials like this are the kind of thing people should go to hell for.
