Google has at least claimed net neutrality won't have any affect on their current or future plans for fiber rollout.
Also, I think their incentives go beyond the throttling net neutrality is meant to prevent. Google makes more money the faster our connections are.
- AnthonyMouse 12y ago> Google has at least claimed net neutrality won't have any affect on their current or future plans for fiber rollout. We can distinguish between Google (the search engine) and Google Fiber (the ISP). What Google Fiber is saying is that network neutrality won't make their ISP business less profitable. That doesn't mean Google's search business is going to have the same incentive to continue providing a de facto subsidy for it in the form of new capital.
