Internet to Become Television-Like Medium Without Small Websites?

"2012: The Year The Internet Ends"
IPower (June 1, 2008)

"Every significant Internet provider around the globe is currently in talks with access and content providers to transform the internet into a television-like medium: no more freedom, you pay for a small commercial package of sites you can visit and you'll have to pay for seperate subscriptions for every site that's not in the package.

"Almost all smaller websites/services will disappear over time and multinationals who are used to using big budgets to brute force their content into every media outlet will finally be able to approach the internet in the same way...."

I sincerely hope that these people are wrong. On the other hand, this doesn't have the feel of the run-of-the-mill crackpot conspiracy theory.

I'd really appreciate comments. Particularly informed comments.
