Rockville, MD | google will pay for it!
aren't they just going to charge google, yahoo, etc. to pay for these upgrades?
that seems to be the business model touted by the telcos - heaven forbid they actually lay out any of their own money and take a risk. |

besides, just because the cablecos haven't been stupid enough to publicly announce their desire for a two-tier internet doesn't mean they don't share that viewpoint (you know, the one where Whitacre says google, etc. should be charged more so the network can be upgraded). |

Yes google, yahoo and M$ should take risk and run their own cable. |

My local cable company, Charter, has been running ads for months that proclaim net neutrality is bad. I think the ad was sponsored by the MCO (Missouri Cable Operators?). Although not specifically mentioned, that's a public declaration that they indirectly support the same thing the telcos want. |
