Google to File Antitrust Complaints

Google spoke to reporters today and warned that if broadband service providers abuse a possible right given by the government, it will step up and file anti-trust complaints. The issue boils down to net neutrality, which has been large ongoing issue between broadband service providers, companies, schools and the government. Google says that it hopes that legislators will support net neutrality, which will prevent large telcos and cable companies from creating tiered networks, charging more for a certain type of use than another, even though the data travels the on same network.

Now this is a rather comforting thought… to know that such a large company has our backs. It’s good to see massive companies with lots of cash take action instead of sitting around.
