Spring Valley, CA | Google to become an ISP At this stage of the game it seems feasible for Google to begin, if they haven't already the process of becoming their own net neutral ISP. Offer people broadband speeds at a fair price, use their pipelines to get internet without having google be a watchdog outside of advertising datamining. Wishful thinking? I could be wrong. |
1 edit | Based on recent events (like the 700Mhz auction), Google has no desire to become an ISP since that would take money and decrease their profits.
Of course, if someone else is willing to give them spectrum for free (i.e., the white space debate) and someone else is willing to pay for the infrastructure (like sheeple buying white space adapters), Google is gladly ride on top of it serving up ads and collecting a buck. |
