Google: Telecom-Funded Study Can't Be Trusted [View article]
If a broadband supplier to Google's datacenters thinks its customer is paying too little, they can try to charge them more. Then Google can switch broadband suppliers -- which it will.
If a broadband supplier to consumers (eg Verizon, AT&T, Comcast) thinks its customers are visiting Google 17 times too much, they could perhaps try to levy an extra surcharge on consumers for each visit to Google.com. Let's see how consumers, Obama and the FCC react to that...
This whole report is totally bogus. As a consumer, all I want from my telco/cable co. is a dumb, neutral pipe with maximum bandwidth for minimum price. The reason the broadband suppliers are fighting this tooth and nail - via fake research and other means - is that being a dumb pipe reduces them to a commodity and lowers their profits.
