NewScientist.com newsletter, 22 June 2006
Welcome to the New Scientist newsletter, which this week foresees
the end of internet equality, reveals that H5N1 has been a killer

EDITOR'S CHOICE
One net for them, another for us
All URLs are created equal. That's the principle the web is founded
on, and so far telecommunications companies have had to respect it.
But if a new law makes it through the US Congress,
the telcos will
be able to charge for giving websites priority access to the
internet. "Net neutralists" say it will strangle innovation online.
The telcos say it's a fine example of the American way. Either way,
someone will have to pay for upgrading the internet to cope with the
ever-growing amount of data we want to send through it...

Viele der Artikel gibt es nur gegen Geld. Deswegen ist diese Ankündigung Reklame und ich erlaube mir auch nur deshalb, diesen Newsletter hier reinzustellen.
"the telcos will be able to charge for giving websites priority access to the internet" ist nur die halbe Wahrheit. Die ganze Wahrheit: es sollen nicht nur die Surfer bezahlen, sondern die Anbieter der Webseiten sollen NOCHMAL zahlen. Wenn ein User von AOL eine Seite von
www.ich-bin-der-kleine-Ulli-Meier.de aufruft, soll Ulli Meier dafür an AOL zahlen. Dabei zahlen die Domains doch schon für den Traffic.
