Re: Google and Verizon outline vision for 'open internet'

While I am not a fan of Google (just look at my previous posts for evidence of that) and I don't believe they are the force for good they claim, it's worth remembering that no one directly pays Google for internet access.

It's also worth remembering that the proposals they've tabled specifically ban the kind of proritisation you say they say proposing.

Importantly, this new nondiscrimination principle includes a presumption against prioritization of Internet traffic - including paid prioritization. So, in addition to not blocking or degrading of Internet content and applications, wireline broadband providers also could not favor particular Internet traffic over other traffic.
