| Regulated Monoploy I think most people here are forgetting that Verizon is a regulated monopoly, that I as a subscriber am paying Verizon for access, Google is paying for their internet access (Which I am sure is in the $100K's/mo), and the backbone providers (Which there are about 11) have peering agreements in place to account for traffic between them. When Verizon comes in and say they want much of the network (Cables on PUBLIC land, with government subsidies) for their own services and charge anyone else to get better than subpar performance is really trying to screw over the American taxpayer again.
Hopefully the FCC will shoot this down like the garbage it is. |
