Nah, no need to make it illegal. He's referring to AT&T's "GigaPower" gigabit service in Austin... the same service that's available from 2 other providers for the same, or cheaper, as what AT&T's charging for their data-mined bullshit.
AT&T will have a fun time getting customers when Google and Grande point that out in their attack ads. :D
- nandhp 13y agoOne other provider. Neither Google (1 Gbps, "by mid 2014") nor Time Warner (300 Mbps, "by the fall of 2014") is yet offering comparable service. Only AT&T and Grande have any actual ultra-high-speed customers at this time.
- Amezarak 13y agoUnless Grande and Google eventually decide to do the same thing. Why not, from their perspective?
- mirkules 13y agoFrankly, I would be surprised if this was not in Google's ToS from the start, considering that Google's core business model is mining of big data. I suspect there wouldn't be an option to turn it off, not even by paying extra.
