Google and Verizon outline vision for 'open internet'

Google and Verizon have joined forces to present their vision of an "open internet", intended as a framework for future regulation of US net services.
Both champion the idea of an open net for fixed line services but suggest loopholes for mobile traffic and for some specialised content.
This could allow net providers to give priority to certain online traffic.
Supporters of net neutrality, where all web data is treated equally, fear the plan will spawn a two-tier service.
"It would give companies like Verizon, Comcast and AT&T the right to decide which content will move fast and which should be slowed down," said Joel Kelsey of public policy group Free Press.

The latter does supply a sort of denial and hints that the proposal may only affect mobile phone users accessing the internet..
So I wonder if anything is going on and what agreements have been reached between the two?
