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.

as a matter of fact, I do. you know I'm being sarcastic, right?

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.

Now Doc, we can't have a front page news story without a net neutrality flame war. It's just the way things are.

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.

I hope you people don't think so called *Net Neutrality* will help nobodies like you. Do you like caps? Then you will love *Net Neutrality*.
