The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

China's telecom giants face probe

English.news.cn, By Yang Jingjie, 2011-11-10 

BEIJING, Nov. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- China's top economic planner is investigating China Telecom and China Unicom, two telecommunications giants, over alleged monopolistic practices in the broadband access business.

If confirmed, the two major operators could face billions of yuan in fines, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said Wednesday, adding that the investigation started in the first half of this year.

"In the Internet access market, China Telecom and China Unicom combined occupy more than two-thirds of the share. With such a dominant position in the market, they practiced price discrimination, raising prices for companies that are competing with them, while giving discounted prices to non-competitors," , said Li Qing, deputy director of the price supervision and anti-monopoly department of the NDRC.

China Telecom and China Unicom account for 90 percent of the country's broadband business and have formed a monopoly in the market, the Xinhua News Agency reported, citing an anonymous official with the NDRC.

Revenues from China Telecom's broadband business come to around 50 billion yuan ($7.9 billion) a year while those of China Unicom are nearly 30 billion yuan, Li said, adding that the two companies would face penalties of up to 10 percent of their annual business revenues if they were found guilty of monopolistic practices.

This is the first such investigation into China's large enterprises since the Anti-Monopoly Law came into effect in 2008. The result of the investigation is expected to come out soon, Li said.

Despite having the world's largest Internet population of 485 million, China's average broadband speed only ranks 71st in the world, while average costs are three to four times those of developed countries, said a report released in July by the Advisory Committee for State Informatization.

Liu Zheng, information director for business solutions at the research company Analysys International, told the Global Times that the probe may reduce costs for small operators and eventually benefit consumers.

"I don't expect a reshuffle in the market. Penalties won't lead to decrease of their market share. It's more of a warning to the two operators,"said Liu.
