This is just baffling. Google is willing to stand up to the freaking Chinese government, but Verizon can force them to pay Danegeld? What happened to all that dark fiber they were buying? Are they looking at scary internal projections about iPhones on Verizon and Facebook's search engine? I really hope this story is wrong; otherwise it says disturbing things about the stranglehold we've given to user-hostile oligopolies.

>Google is willing to stand up to the freaking Chinese government Really? I must have missed that. I only saw where they posted a message about leaving China, never did and ended up complying with them in the end. Was the standing up part before that or after?
