    Your ISP and Netflix already charge subscriptions, what other “part of the internet” is left to charge for? There’s several subscriptions for social media as well if you count blue checkmarks and the like.

      That’s not what I’m referring to.

      What I’m referring to is the attempts made to axe Net Neutrality from corrupted chairmen of the FCC who wants to put ISPs in control of what content you’re to access, based on tiered internet and wanting to charge you more to access other parts of said content.

        I see, so you’re talking about ISPs splitting up service into multiple packages like a cable company. I guess multiplying an existing subscription counts as a new subscription 👍

          Yup. And they’ve been trying to do this for years.

          They have as better shot as any right now, considering who’s in charge of the FCC.
