That's called voting with my feet

Think you guys in the US should watch out for your free speech rights; doesn't sound good when Library of Congress starts to block sites; sounds more like China to be honest.

Augmented reality!

Double-blink the restaurant to see the menu!

Double-blink the shopping window to see product specs

I'v been waiting for this since sometime 1998!

I agree; likely to be an imaginary event.

Where I live I can have broadband via fiber, adsl, ca-tv, or 3G. So in my case, it's not a monopoly
Where my brother lives, which is in the countryside, it's different. None of the major telcos where too interested in pulling fiber even to the nearest phone station. So, the local government financed and contracted a company to build a dark-fiber network plus run a basic IP-infrastructure on top. This community is now connected to several telcos, so that each subscriber can sign up to the telco he/she prefers while the local network is still community-owned and neutral.
