How long before Ed Whitacre gets pissed about this and wants Google to pay for a new one?

Google should help AT&T through this troubling time by throttling connection speeds from AT&T customers who are accessing Google's website. I could easily see a pissing war starting here. AT&T demands payment from Google, and other large online services, for data travelling across their network when said services do not directly connect to AT&T's backbone. Then said services tell AT&T unless AT&T pays them, they will throttle bandwidth to all AT&T customers. And the circle goes round...

It's funny how they pick on google.
The majority of Google's use is search. Their search engine is one of the less bandwidth heavy websites. Yahoo, MSN, and all the other "portal" websites push ads and other crap to the user when you use their sites.
Google isn't the problem. It's penis envy, really. Google has a small scale operation making big money and telco is pissed. They want a piece of the actions.
Google's apps are very thing - minus the videos which is a waste anyway. This picking on google, the search engine, is, as one users here says, "is a BS"... If google didn't exist today, many people would be lost. Hell, google isn't a noun anymore,.. it's a verb.
I'd hate to see google's traffic report if they actually built a site like yahoo and msn. really, the amount of traffic transgered to each user on a search is FAR LESS than what get's transferred when the end user finally reaches the site they were searching for.
