The net neutrality nuts are going to love this; especially coming from their supposedly “not evil” Google.

An attempt to control all. Pretty soon the “Internet” will just be called “Google”

[paulycy]

Tempting fate, I use all the free google stuff I can figuring that if they really do crack down openly against conservatives(even more than they do now with their clever little tricks like filling new account home pages with "news" sources like msnbc and the nation and questionable outages at times)I will be among the first to know.

Only a fool would commit serious stuff to the google cloud without knowing that it could all disappear forever at a moments notice.

Now maybe google will abandon both net neutrality and political "neutrality" just as they are abandoning search result neutrality (see posts here on FR.)

At last the true reason for Google’s support for Obama is revealed.

But phone and cable companies argue that Internet content providers should share in their network costs

This is the stupidest argument I've seen in months, and I scan Democratic Underground to find stuff worthy of calling to PJ's attention for the DUmmie FUnnies.

If there were no content providers, nobody would buy Internet services from the telco companies. If anything, the latter are free-riding on the former, not vice versa.

Google Inc. has approached major cable and phone companies that carry Internet traffic with a proposal to create a fast lane for its own content, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

George W. Bush skipped out on his National Guard obligations, according to documents reviewed by CBS News.

Until we see the originals of these "documents", there is no story here.

It's called MPLS traffic engineering and companies are paying for their own traffic to "tunnel" through the Internet now. It's not much for Google to tunnel directly to major "intersections" on the network for everybody to get to them faster.

What I'd really like to know, though, is what's up with WSJ's picture of Obama?
