I'm a network engineer at a telecom. It's a very dangerous precedent to set for a variety of reasons. The big one that stands out to me is the wording of legal vs. illegal traffic. That's very concerning. It also raises some interesting questions for my industry (cable) If we move your cable modem out on the pole and shoot a wifi signal into your house are we not wireless providers? We can argue the same rules should apply to us. Now that the precedent is set that wireless is a special anti-competitive clubhouse I think we're going to see some major changes in future strategies. Why invest in wired infrastructure? It's a loser. Many of the big cable companies (Cox, TWC, Comcast) are dipping their toes into wireless already. This will just accelerate that trend. We'll expect the same deal from Google.
