You know all that talk about net neutrality in the US? How for instance Verizon and Google
want net neutrality to apply only to something they call the 'wired' internet, which is apparently somehow different from the 'mobile' internet? Well, while you Americans are only talking about it, us Dutch are once again way ahead of the curve: the largest of the three main carriers
has announced its intention to start charging extra for services like VoIP, instant messaging, Facebook, and so on, with the other two carriers
contemplating similar moves. The dark future of the web, right here in my
glorified swamp.
