The rhetoric on this issue is amazing. What Google and others are pushing for is actually MORE REGULATION. The internet was founded on light or no regulation and many of these companies wouldn't even exist if more regulations were put on the Internet in its infancy. Know how many times a service provider has abused its power of access? Exactly once. And the FCC quickly acted. Google, EBay and others are BILLION dollar companies and want to the government to REGULATE in order to give them an advantage. The service providers are simply saying "let the market decide." Isn't the market a better place for the Internet to flourish than Washington, DC?
