If Qwest should wish to charge Google let it do so. If Qwest charges too much Google is fully able to tell Qwest to take a hike. If a Qwest customer wishes to provide an internet such that you can't get good access to Google that is up to the company and the customers who choose to patronize Qwest. When it comes to behemoth vs. behemoth the best society can do it to keep government from having a hand in jiggering the playing field. The best a customer can do is keep himself informed on the issues and ask himself if he is happy with the product he is receiving. <br/>View <a href="/article/show/2163-Republicans-Waste-No-Time-Moving-Against-Net-Neutrality">Article</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2011-01-10:/article/2163 2011-01-10T12:10:31Z VahidThaneEichenauer wrote: Freedom from unwarranted and unwanted regulation. What a backward idea. Given the tens - no hundreds - no thousands - no millions of people who have been grievously harmed by their internet providers I am not the least surprised that the regulate first lobby has jumped into the fray advocating for Net Neutrality. How hundreds of millions of people ever managed to download the google.com home page and watch youtube.com videos before the FCC decided to stick its nose into the internet is a complete mystery to me. Barack Obama very well may veto such a bill given Ex Google lobbyist Andrew McLaughlin employment with the current administration. Given enough competition I have no need to worry that I am going to wait 30 seconds for my google.com home page to arrive. Net Neutrality is a problem in search of a government solution. All I ask of the FCC is for it to leave me and my ISP alone.<br/>View <a href="/article/show/2163-Republicans-Waste-No-Time-Moving-Against-Net-Neutrality">Article</a> on OpenCongress tag:opencongress.org,2010-11-18:/article/2109 2010-11-24T15:09:07Z VahidThaneEichenauer wrote: I don't think Bernanke and the rest of the Board of Governors would operate any differently pre or post HR 6406.
