Google, Cos. Clash Over Internet Access

Lawmakers are considering legislation to guarantee consumers open access to the Internet _ a notion those in the industry refer to as "net neutrality."

AT&T Inc. and BellSouth Corp. in particular have suggested charging Internet services such as Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. and Vonage Holdings Corp. for the high-quality delivery of their content over the phone companies' networks. The phone companies say they're investing billions of dollars upgrading their broadband networks and should be able to recoup that cost.

Sound familiar? Amazing how these ceo's go instantly blind when they get dollar bills in their eyes - in the meantime - consumers have paid for these networks a thousand times over. And everybody pays for their traffic everyday - to the telcos who are the people complaining!? If it wasn't for google there wouldn't be any traffic - bozos!!

So google did good - employing that old man - Vinton Cerf - he should have some clout - he invented the thing after all!! :rolleyes:
