This is such a ridiculous statement. Cable companies have taken billion in federal subsidies, lied about universal deployment and speeds, and unless there is local competition have taken customers to the cleaners, forced the purchase of bundled channel packages, charged rentals for modems they were not renting (I should know - I called in every month to have charge removed) etc. I can think of a long list of other large / monopoly type companies that regular abuse consumers at far higher levels than google does. Consumer spend on google is actually pretty small.
