It's interesting that it's seen as aid. If countries like Norway feel that standing trees provide a service to them, they should pay to keep them up. It's not charity, the trees are providing a marketable good by processing

The implementation would be the same thing as this company. I don't understand how it's different. 100% of retail business don't have this this either.

An ISP's job is to provide internet access to last mile users, such as ourselves. If they choose to reduce that speed for any reason, or throttle any kind of connection they are entitled to do that but they can't complain when som

It's interesting to see a country dismantle internet access site by site. It challenges our notions of what we think will always be there. If your site has a dependency on YouTube, your site isn't going to be functioning in Turk
