This is why I am vehemently opposed to many of the changes that will occur with the implementation of Internet 2.0. There is no need for telephone companies to create multiple levels of service, based on bandwith, which will essentially make it difficult for the individual to market his or her site, or, for that matter, obtain browsing services that are roughly equivalent to what other more financially independent individuals enjoy. Another concern is Google's ill-conceived effort to generate a massive data-mining service, which can be accessed, despite whatever Google promises, by governmental sources that have no business obtaining this material. These considerations lead me to believe that the beneficial promises associated with 2.0 are pale in juxtaposition to the potential downfalls that might occur from greed sticking its ugly head into something that currently manifests the more sanguine, egalitarian attributes of our social lives.
