The article reveals the real concern - google has impacted "telecoms and media companies". These groups are VERY powerful. They don't want things like net neutrality, they want to hoover up broadband subsidies without actually delivering service (and often faking coverage maps etc). And despite all their claims, they are enormous monopoly like groups, now under republican administrations with much GREATER concentrations across both content libraries and internet access (time warner etc). Under this administration, massive anti-competitive consolidation has been permitted and encouraged in areas with much much greater consumer harm, by companies who IMMEDIATELY go back on their promises.

"On August 7, US district judge Analisa Torres granted the Department of Justice’s request to terminate the Paramount Consent Decrees" The absolute ridiculous irony here is the govt is hand over fist screwing consumers, and now is going after... google!? ... has having ripped folks off? Do I believe my cable co was both selling my data for profit and jacking up my prices because I had no choice? Sure, even when their service was terrible I was stuck. Any enforcement? Bare minimum (I had to call monthly to get them to remove their modem rental fee - I wasn't using their modem, but a year after I started they added the charge and insisted I had their modem but wouldn't tell me the device ID). Australia / New Zealand are going to be some good examples here. Very arbitrarily (vs principles based) rulemaking coming.
