i've been dissatisfied with every article i've read about this subject, and it's something that i care deeply about as a supporter of network neutrality. just like every other article, it's linkbaiting and taking the opportunity to bash google when the only alternative is to let congressmen make up these rules on their own with the telecoms (not the type of situation you want to be in).
if anyone is going to negotiate the formal policies of network neutrality, i can't think of a better company to do it than google. the formalization has to happen one way or the other, we've already seen that the fcc's power is questionable at best right now.
