Say you want Face Book, You Tube, Google then you pay for those. That's the way it heading. No more free access to anywhere you want to visit. Also for guys who make websites you're going to have to pay for a permit to publish a website and you'll be put on a sub domain that they own. Crazy shit.

You just described the issue of net neutrality... which is a different issue from this one from what I understand. This is a draconian content restriction technique, for limiting access to porn and terrorism tools to start with, and later it could be applied to any kind of content that the govt deems contrary to the public good... Similar to the great firewall of China.
