I'm not exactly sure that this is the best place to post but I've tried to contact Google directly and that seems to be next to impossible. I was appalled to find that Google is allying itself with Verizon in challenging the Net Neutrality rules. I was considering choosing between the iPhone and Android for my next phone and was leaning towards the Android if for nothing else but brand loyalty. Upon hearing recent news relating to the bilateral net neutrality trade agreement between them and Verizon, I find myself shocked and dismayed that a company that as recently as 2007 could be quoted as saying: “The nation’s spectrum airwaves are not the birthright of any one company. They are a unique and valuable public resource that belong to all Americans," is now rapidly reversing their position on the subject. If you continue down this path Google, I warn you that in the future there will be no difference between you and proprietary companies like Apple. Once again, I apologize if I posted this in an inappropriate location to vent my views. My only excuse is that i almost never make the effort to so vigorously complain but Google's actions are so egregious in this case, I really felt as if I didn't have any choice in the matter. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/08/why-google-became-a-carrier-humping-net-neutrality-surrender-monkey/ http://searchengineland.com/how-google-apple-sold-out-the-cell-phone-revolution-48529
That's hypocrisy at it's best. I've already posted that this could really be a barrier for those wanting to start out in online business. And what's most appalling is the so-called "Internet Marketers" aren't even discussing this or giving this any attention... Maybe that's because all they sell is "make money online" - so therefore discussing this would not be so good for business.
I really need to keep up with this news....I was aware of Verizon and Google working together, but I am just not informed enough about what the implications are of this. Thanks for the link
