They must have held this meeting of the "minds" in the dunce corner.
What is to stop telcos from doing this to any internet site, not just Google?
Do you think Google and the others are going to just sit around wand wait for ISP's to pick their pockets?
All BS and others will be doing by trying this is accelerate the competition in their own markets. What Google and others will do is fund their own ISP services and where would that leave BS and SBC?
It will leave them laughing all the way to the bank as @Home v2.0 crashes and burns, or Rhythms Netconnections v2.0 crashes and burns, or WinFirst v2.0 crashes and burns, or Northpoint v2.0 crashes and burns, or Global Crossing v2.0 crashes and burns, or 360 Networks v2.0 crashes and burns.
Haven't you guys figured it out yet? This game has already been played, and the monopolies won.
