I don't think we are _teaching_ companies anything. This is the realm of PR and companies know a _lot_ more than us on PR.
Also if you believe that Google didn't get any advantage out of painting itself the defender of the netizen I think you are being naive. Google played the "we are more ethical than your profit-seeking corporation" and got a large group of followers because of that. Hence why those people now feel betrayed. You can't have your cake and eat it too. :)
And please, don't turn this into a false dichotomy. I am fine with Google doing whatever they want to do: whatever they did now was not illegal, just morally dubious. I don't need to be in favour of Microsoft or lock-ins just because I am against Google acting hypocritically. So stop bring out the boogeyman.

Let me get this straight: you're the one disappointed that Google doesn't have some kind of magic want to make all the carriers agree to absolute net neutrality and I'm the one who's being naive? > I don't need to be in favour of Microsoft or lock-ins just because I am against Google acting hypocritically. So what are you in favor of then? What tech company do you feel better about than Google? Google got Verizon to agree to Net Neutrality on wireline connections. Who else has done that for you lately? If you boycott Google into the ground to show them just how very betrayed you feel, who is going to be your next powerful ally? Who is going to push a net neutrality agenda then?
