| What Google Should Do If TW or anyone else starts to throttle bandwidth from Google, then Google should put the following message on their homepage when it detects a TW owned IP:
"We regret to inform you that Time Warner has chosen to slow down your internet connection to Google. If you do experience slowdowns using any of Google's products or services, please know the issue is outside of our control. Time Warner could quickly return normal speeds to Google simply by pushing a button. Please voice your concern. Contact Time Warner at xxx-xxx-xxxx today." Each call to a call center, on average, costs anywhere from $3 to $8. If we flood their call centers with callers, that'll hurt them in the pocketbook.
This whole limiting bandwidth crap will only work if companies such as MS, Google, Amazon, etc actually pay the ISPs for a good QoS. If nobody pays, then nothing is accomplished. The ISPs limit bandwidth, slowing down the internet, and looking like idiots in the process.

Plymouth, MI | BINGO!!! That's exactly what they need to do. If all companies who were threatened with this extortion simply refused to pay and posted a similar message their plan would fail miserably.
Google and others should issue a press release stating that they will not be participating in this program. Are the ISPs stupid enough to block them totally? If they are they will go out of business quickly.

Belvedere Tiburon, CA | Google, with its spectacularly "clean" main page, has a unique opportunity to drive this type of traffic. With classic Google reserve, I suspect that they've been holding off until they really need it, or until they really think it will work.
A similar message, easily regionalized by IP addresses, inviting calls to one or more local Congressional representatives might also work wonders.
I don't think the ISP's have any sense whatsoever of who they are messing with or what cr@p may rain down on them.
