I am just saying that Google folks are very much concerned for themselves,
_as well as_ the public. But the public is not their main concern. I believe
they are opportunists here. They might treat this as an open door to
publicity stunts.
But, hey, I loathe the shift away from Net neutrality as much as the next
guy. I just ain't American, so my voice won't count. It's a shame that Rice
/et al/ prevented the EU from taking/gaining partial control of the Web
infrastructure early this year (or, more probably, late last year). These
Verizon 'yacht people' are ruining it for the rest of the world.
Best wishes,
Roy
