    What happens now exactly? I can't get my head around it.

    what happens now?

    We fight back.

    It seems that this is payback to the telecoms firms for allowing NSA eavesdropping.

    Exactly. Fight back. Cancel your cable service and use DVDs. Cancel your major cell phone and telephone networks and use smaller ones...

    You can't fight it by boycotting services - not enough people will do it for it to have any effect at all unfortunately.

    Unfortunately, they got me by the coconuts on that one - I refuse to accept substandard service and connectivity for the sake of a cause, and I doubt others will either.

    This whole thing brings us right back to the "Golden Rule" principle. He with the gold, makes the rules.

    Maybe we can only make a small impact but that doesn't mean we have to take it laying down.

    Once again proving the corporations run this country, not the people's will.
