The cnet interview I posted earlier was conducted back in August of this year. A subject matter that has surfaced today that was discussed in that interview was the debate over Wireless vs Wired Internet managing. Google and Verizon agree that the Wired lines needed to be controlled or enforce but they feel like the Wireless portion needs to be excluded from any discussion. An example of that would be the now ending of unlimited data usage by the cell phone companies. Most people will only be using 2G and not 3G like so advertised. Once you go over you will be charge per amount for doing so. This is the oldest trick in the book and it makes sense now why a corporation such as Google and Verizon would ask to be regulated. It's the slight of hands trick. You concentrate on what I am doing with one hand while I do something else with my other hand.
They want Congress to put into laws for the Wired part but leave the Wireless part in the open so they can do with it as they so pleases. Kind of smart if you really think about. Sort of like a compromise of sorts. You get something and I get something out of the deal.
