But couldn't the phone companies just filter out or jam your singal? I have asked this before but no one answered. You are still using the phone companies wiring and what it to stop them from just putting filters or blocks of some kind at the center switching stations to filter or block the data transfer. Or when it detects the modem singal from just dropping the call? I do not know as much about this as I would like to and that is why I am asking. It seems that any thing that uses the phone companies wiring can be stopped if they want to.

If they are going to censor it then why would i bother to be on the net or pay my bill??
This isn't why I have the internet.
I am here for information.
I would just rather go back to the good ole days of ignoring hollywood,tv, and knowing newspapers were full of BS.

Internet Censorship Storm Is Coming, Warns Schmidt
Google Chair Eric Schmidt has sounded an alarm that Arab states in the throes of revolution will clamp down on the Internet. However, censorship of Internet content is not restricted to those countries or to authoritarian states like China, North Korea and Iran. "Great Britain, France, Germany and South Korea all filter the Internet, and the United States is moving rapidly into doing so," noted law professor Derek Bambauer.
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt foresees more troublesome days ahead between the search engine giant and the governments of the world. Censorship is on the rise around the globe, he said Monday, at a Dublin summit on militant violence that was organized by Google, according to press reports.
How freely information should flow has been a thorny issue for Internet companies dealing with the governments of more restrictive regimes. Several years ago, China's government demanded that Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO) turn over the identity of a user who had anonymously posted to the Web materials relating to the Tiananmen Square massacre. The result was the arrest, torture and 10-year jail term of Wang Xiaoning.
Google is no stranger to such pressures. It pulled the plug on its search engine activities in China due to the government's insistence that it censor certain terms.
We all know some countries around the world already sensor content, are we going to just sit here and put up with this when it happens? Schmidt goes on to talk about ways to fight this
Would love to hear our members take on this...

I find it strange you mention a quote by Eric Schmidt, as he "defends" the internet and neutrality, you do realise is part of the problem and not part of the solution?
Eric Schmidt is part of the bildersburg group and attended the last meeting which was held in Switzerland recently, he is working WITH tptb. Why do you think it is so easy for governments to block anything they want on Youtube?

Revolutionary violence is not the way to bring about change for the better. So long as certain groups go down the road to violence then they will be met with equal if not greater violence. Using the Internet to incite acts of violence is the problem. That includes using the Internet for violence in computer games. We need to prevent the Internet from being used as a channel through which certain groups spread their heathen ideas that sexualise the population by transmitting extreme pornographic material and glamorise the abuse of drugs [tobacco and alcohol included] and use the internet to inspire acts of violence and damage to property. Certain types of computer and Internet activity should be considered criminal.
There are certain groups who preach a gospel of anarchic freedom with out any limitations what so ever. Such freedom is the nightmare of hell. Civilization has to built on a moral code.

I did not read it in a book. You will not find it in any book. It was revealed to me by audio clairvoyance during the celebrations of the New Millennium in 2000.
Summed up it basically means no sex no drugs and no violence.
