I view this as an attack on the web as it stands. Google wants to create a walled-garden net. Goog-net. All ads, shopping, videos, documents, email, locations, articles flowing through THEIR protocols and THEIR servers and THEIR fiber. No possibility of blocking ads they don't want blocked. No URLs. No Agent strings. No user control. Only user consumption. If they have to allow some small chump players to have a piece of this cake (a la: "Oh trust us, AMP is an 'open' protocol and anyone can host it. it's not just for our own benefit in the end. Trust us.") in order for the entire population to accept their changes bit by bit, so be it in their eyes. They know we would reject an outright takeover.
