ISP

"Many of us are accustomed to viewing the Web as a wellspring of vast number of sources of information, free of restraining influence. Indeed, if properly used by knowledgeable people, it can be. Bur in practice, perhaps not as much as we would think. In August 2001, the authoritative Jupiter Media Matrix research company reported that just four corporations own the Web sites that more than 50 percent of Americans spend time viewing...Your ISP can program their sytems to give you quick access to Web sites of corporations who pay a fee to them, and subtly (or not so subtly) slow your access to the rest of the Internet. Although many Internet users think of the World Wide Web as a commons of ideas, it's a commons whose access is now almost entirely controlled by a small number of very large corporations.""The FCC has recently allowed four giant media corporations to buy up radio stations nationwide to the point where four companies now control 90 percent of total advertising revenues.""Today, despite more than 25,000 outlets in the United States, twenty-three corporations control most of the business in daily newspapers, magazines, television, books, and motion pictures."

This is what Martin said.
