Google and Verizon in Talks on Selling Internet Priority
From The New York Times: Google and Verizon in Talks on Selling Internet Priority
More like selling out the consumer. From the article: “Google and Verizon, two leading players in Internet service and content, are nearing an agreement that could allow Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content’s creators are willing to pay for the privilege.”
It also means you and I will end up paying more for Internet access, just like cable rates have risen to ridiculous heights over the years, because channel owners pay cable systems to launch channels, then force the consumer to pay for that channel whether they watch it or not.
Net neutrality will be a distant memory if this nonsense is allowed to happen.
