Scare tactics

This article is titled "Internet 'Brownouts' Feared by 2010 as User Traffic Soars". It was published on thestar.com at the end of November, 2007. I smell a conspiracy!

I strongly suspect that this 'study' is little more than prep work and wheel greasing for unnecessary increases in service costs. I'm convinced it was written because internet service providers are the gate keepers to the online world, which has already severely changed many industries, entertainment and retail being the largest. So now on top of online advertising, online sales and profiling target markets based their online behaviour, charging more money to connect to the internet is where it's at.

EVERYTHING IS A LIE
