This Doesn't Violate Network Neutrality

Google is doing the right thing for its users here by ensuring that its service is delivered to its customers as quickly as possible.

However, I'd be more worried that this new thing Google is doing (if it is true) is more sinister:

 it is also helping the ISPs if all those youtube videos are being delivered with in the grid it means there is no cost to the ISP for what goes over their own network. and the ISP that is most google and youtube friendly would likely gain customers.

I don't think this violates any NN principals. As stated before it is just CDN like and something I think they were already doing with YouTube.. As far as "no cost to the ISP" that is far from the truth. The major cost of delivering traffic is in the last 50 miles or so and CDNs don't address that. This just cuts out some of the national elements which are a smaller percentage of network infrastructure costs.

It becomes a network neutrality issue if they make restrictive agreements that prevent other companies from doing the same thing. Could suck for the hosting companies if everything moves to ISPs though.
