Regions will be walled off by censorship / content laws, freely accessible information will be a thing of the past, you’ll have to pay a subscription for anything you want to do, and you will own nothing.

Example: CNN. Anything not a headline requires a subscription plan.
That’s how newspapers used to work. You were able to read the front page for free at the news stand, for the rest of the thing you had to buy it.
You’re not thinking nearly dystopian enough. Want to play a game? Need a cloud gaming subscription. Want to send an email? Add Gmail to your Google subscription for $5.99 a month. Want enough speed to stream higher than 720p video? Gotta pay your ISP for the bandwidth and YouTube (Google again!) for the access. You will rent everything from the system.
