I ended up reading this article multiple times and combing over every line of it to try and find the part where Google was going to buy Internet priority. In the end, I've concluded that the opposite is taking place. Google and Verizon are in talks about Google not taking legal action against Verizon, no matter how they choose to manage their network. While still troubling, the real concern is what this would show legislators about the need for net neutrality provisions. And it could go either way.
- nkassis 16y agoI was going to say the same thing. The article seems very sparse on details of what is really being discussed. It's all talk until the details are public. But my google love bias is probably a little transparent.
- InclinedPlane 16y agoAnother article in the Washington post makes this clearer. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/posttech/2010/08/google_and_verizon_have_come.html http://voices.washingtonpost.com/posttech/2010/08/google_and... Google isn't buying priority, they're negotiating for non-priority. That's a horse of a different color entirely.
